[Edit: solved] The Google Play Store broke something while trying to update @moshidon even though it was installed through F-Droid, which broke the app and the ntfy notification setup I had implemented. Had to uninstall Moshidon from scratch, but with ntfy or not, now no notifications come through.
Google is always messing with things it shouldn't, why? How can I solve this? Anyone? Thank you in advance.

Hello @MonaApp and users of Mona, I just stumbled on a possible miscalculation of post length with many mention.
Example: https://sironi.tk/@luca/114555849130077568
Mastodon web client says I still have 279 chars left, Ivory and Toot! show the same amount. Mona says I have only 2chars left for my reply. Do I miss something?
#MonaApp #MastodonClients

For anyone new to #Mastodon or returning it's easier to find people to follow by following hashtags of interest first.

As for #MastodonApps or #MastodonClients I recommend @phanpy

Lately I get these error messages a lot more frequently.

Sometimes when I search for a keyword and when I compose a toot with hashtags the autocomplete simply stop working the onlything that happens it gives the following error message:
"http failure response for https://hachyderm.io/api/v2/search/q=sengi7resolve=true: 500 internal server error"

I can't view sometimes my own account and I get the following error message:
"account couldn't be found."

Curious to know, how many columns do you set up on apps/clients that allow multi-columns? (Mastodon advanced web interface, Ivory macOS, Mona macOS, @sengi_app , @statuzer , @mastodeck , #TheDesk , Phanpy )

A really weird thing happened.
One of the notifications in my Notifications was edited by the OP that is completely empty, probably it was a toot that I boosted previously.
I don't get how this notification totally broke two of my Mastodon clients, Sengi and tut in a totally different but really annoying way.

Seems like @MonaApp could be the 1st 3rd-party client to replace “Unlisted” with “Quiet Public”.

Now… how about the other clients…

The Mozilla Social for Android repo was archived (https://github.com/MozillaSocial/mozilla-social-android) and continuing as Firefly (https://github.com/Firefly-Social/Firefly)

The forked Ice Cubes app (https://github.com/MozillaSocial/IceCubesApp) also got archived. Mozilla Social for iOS (https://github.com/MozillaSocial/mozilla-social-ios) is not archived but seems inactive.

Q: Are there any Mastodon apps or clients that show something *other* than the chronological timeline?

For example:

• hiding old posts you've already read
• sorting posts other than date-based
• surfacing posts by friends who post infrequently
• surfacing trending posts, and adding them to your main feed

Thanks for any suggestions! Please share for visibility.

What's the best Mastodon client for news discovery? The official Android app has this tab, which works pretty well. But do any other Android clients do a better job?

I'm a "let's push this button and see what happens" person, so I've tried most #web-based and #iOS #MastodonClients.

I found the #Elk (@elk) #alpha #WebClient yesterday, and thus far, I love it. It has a twitter-like feel, and I can hover over a name, view their bio and follow with ease.

It's a neat, clean, bright, comfortable #interface.

I can't wait to see what features appear next!

Just installed the latest #icecubes @icecubesapp update for iOS on my iPad & it has many significant improvements over the version from a couple weeks ago. It is by far my preferred Mastodon client now. I tried Ivory, which was slick & looked promising but the free trial version was crippled (it can’t even post!) & I’m definitely not signing up for a subscription model app unless I can try it fully first.

I’m still using Tusky on my android phone, & that works very well.

After spending a week with it, I think it’s safe to say I like @MonaApp better than @ivory, at least for the time being. The customizability is incredible and I’m super happy with how I’ve got all my actions set up and the color schemes I’ve made for day and night (see screenshots).

The full screen mode which happens when you scroll just pushes it over the top. I don’t know if I can be happy without it again.

The one feature that I’m really missing (which neither app has right now) is the ability to save and browse other instances’ local timelines and then interact from your account. Still have to use @tootapp for that particular feature. (And I do love its implementation there!)

Has #Tooot gone rogue for anyone else? Ability to add ALT text has vanished and not getting any notifications. Annoying. Back to the official app for me for the time being…

There’s a lot to like about Ivory, Ice Cubes, and Tusker. As well as for a number of the web apps.

But so far, as far as I know, the only two iOS clients that support both manual load of the timeline, and browsing the timeline up *or* down...and filling in the gaps as you go, are #TootApp and #MammothApp. And while I love Toot!’s image handling, it really needs a tighter UI; it’s too many clicks and page changes to perform common actions like “share”.

So until some other app lets me load the most recent posts and then work my way backwards, I’m sticking with Mammoth.

P.S. If you want to try a *completely* different UI, check out Trunk. You scroll the timeline *sideways*. The current screen has the post and replies on it, which you can scroll up and down. It doesn’t feel like it scales to me, since you have to swipe every single post. But it’s an interesting idea.

One thing that’s really nice that #toot does that none of the other #mastodonclients seem to do is give you the option to share toots as either links, texts, or images. That choice is really nice! I like having the ability to share as an image built in.

Overall I like #Toot! better than #Metatext. Not that Metatext is bad, it’s great!

If it wasn’t for Lists I’d pick Metatext as it’s one less tap to start a message. But Toot! has less taps to switch lists and I do reading more than writing, so being able to switch more easily is a bigger advantage to me.

That said they’re both great. And Metatext is free, while Toot! costs money, but I don’t mind paying developers.

This is amazing. @smallsco has created a Mastodon client for Classic Mac OS. This makes me wish I had a machine to run it on. Wow.
