@jon I am on tusky for android and @sengi_app for my Linux.

I need multiple-account support and these two tools have it.

Your brain-dead vanilla user here: uses Mastodon's native Android app. Knows that there's a website version as well, but never uses it. Never even thought about looking for a dedicated Mastodon software on Linux. (If there's a web interface, why do you need other software?)

@jon Tusky. Works. Never use the PC for 🐘 normally.

@jon I use Moshidon on Mobile and typically Tuba on Desktop. Moshidon is a fork of a fork of the official client that adds a lot of missing features but keeps the great UX of it imo, and Tuba works like a dream, and I would recommend it to anyone using a GNOME Desktop. If you like the advanced interface though idk if it could substitute that layout. Tokodon is good for KDE but it may be simpler than what you want, I see it as a good thing but not everyone will.

The „Mastodon“ app is very different on Android and iOS.

On Linux „toot“ a cli tool.

@jon I use tusky (Free Software) on Android, which is pretty good (on linux desktop, I use the web UI).

@jon Android and #linux here, but for mastodon I use Tusky on Android 99,9% of the time.

@jon I use Tusky on Android. It is fine, I guess. I only do SM on phone - desktop is for working

@jon, on Android, I just use the PWA (press Install in the browser itself).

Fedilab, installed from f-droid, on a google-free android (https://lineage.microg.org/). Web interface on a computer.

@jon I'm using phanpy.social on android and mac - web app, but more fluid than the built-in one with some nice stylistic choices.

@jon On Windows I use the (advanced) web interface, no app. I find it not optimal though.
On Android I used Tusky and now I'm using Megalodon.

@jon Tusky on Android - free, and works well on phone and tablet. Website via Firefox on Windows - it's OK, but I've never really warmed to the multi-pane tweetdeck format.

Unter Android die App Fedilab. Wer sie sich zuerst anschauen mag, kann sie über F-Droid gratis herunterladen. Die App ist also frei und auch ohne Google-Zeugs auf dem Handy verwendbar. Aber sie ist auch im Google Play Store zum kleinen Preis erhältlich und jeden Cent wert.

Für Windows und Linux habe ich noch nichts gefunden, dass mich auf Dauer glücklicher macht als via Browser.

@jon Tusky works well in Android. For desktop, either pinafore.social or elk.zone in a web browser. The default Mastodon 4 column UI is awful.

hengymrohebwlad, 8 months ago

@jon +1 for Tusky.

@jon

Android: Tusky (after trying 3 others apps)

Windows + Linux: Web UI (tried a few apps but settled with Web UI + Vimium extension so I have my own keyboard shortcuts. The experience remains consistent between machines.)

maspiers, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

@jon Tusky on Android. Free, seems better than the other apps I've tried including the official one

tops, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

@jon via web using https://phanpy.social (both Android and Windows)

Edited to add: free and recommended for people like me who aren't fans of lots of apps.

philwills, 8 months ago

@tops @jon +1 for phanpy. I use it as a PWA on Android and its handling of threads is better than any other client I've used for any social network.

jon, 8 months ago

@philwills @tops looks really good. Thanks both of you!

Wot app?
I have android phone and tablet. Don't use an app - just downloaded Mastodon; same with the PC, which uses Chrome and Libre

sccook, 8 months ago

@jon I mostly use Elk running in Firefox on a Linux desktop. Elk isn't mature yet, missing some key features, especially in setting preferences, but it's a pleasanter UX than the standard Mastodon web app.

haayman, 8 months ago

@jon I'm using @elk on desktop and @megalodon on android. Both because they're beautiful.

Caveat: There hasn't been a lot of development on #elk lately so I really hope the new search method will be implemented soon.
