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?

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.

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.

Calckey/Firefish

Much more beautiful than mastodon IMHO

Thanks for the info about the other projects.

CalcKey should have been renamed ℂ instead of Firefish. Because.

That's a bummer, hang in there Mastodon, keep bloomscrollin

Hopefully a massive influx of Twitter jerks doesn't kill what makes Mastodon a nice place in the first place.

Elon has no idea how to run a social media company. At this point he's just trying random shit hoping it will work. Get the platform operating successfully again and then worry about branding...

i never got into twitter, and the longer this goes on, the more glad i am about that

Is that why I've seen more people today wanting to bitch about politics in completely random threads?
