As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.

Anyone recommend a good iPhone app for Mastodon?

[-] gyrodaddy@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Ivory is my favorite as long as you don’t mind supporting the developers. But a close second place for me is Ice Cubes.

I second Ice Cubes. I would recommend Mammoth as well, but feed loading can be super slow.

The official app loads super fast, but way too many limitations IMHO.

Serious question: Are Mastadon users just like kbin and Lemmy users, but with a character limit?

[-] Hyphlosion@donphan.social 18 points 2 years ago

You mean, are we a part of the same Fediverse? Yes. I’m actually replying to you right now from my Mastodon account! Still not over how cool that is!

But yeah, there’s a character limit. The instance I’m from is donphan.social. Our character limit is 1,008.

If you want greater adoption, especially for Twitter users, then we should be evangelising Misskey and Calckey/Firefish over Mastodon, especially given the feature set more closely mirrors Twitter.
