#mastodonapps — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #mastodonapps, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #Elefeed was created to experiment with new ways to manage and view content on #mastodon

    Today we released a new way to interact with replies to posts without having navigate away from your main feed, all inline.

    The idea is to allow users to more easily read conversations in an organized way, reply or interact all without large navigation changes.  Give it a try!

  2. Been experimenting with a way to browse post replies right within the main feed as a threaded view.  You can click on each post or navigate using A or Z to go up and down.

    Feedback would be awesome before I get to far down the rabbit hole on making sure it's all wired up.

  4. Elefeed follows Mastodon's chronological feed approach while making it easier to see why posts appear in your feed.

    Posts are color-coded and labeled when they come from:

    • A hashtag you follow
    • A profile you follow

    No hidden recommendation algorithm. Just chronological feeds and clearly labeled content.

  5. Your Mastodon access token stays in your browser’s local storage, not on servers, not in a database, nowhere we can access.

    No accounts. No analytics. No ads. Nothing collected, nothing sold.

    Clear your browser data and your session is gone.

  7. I've tried lots of #MastodonApps on Android but #Elefeed has the most complete initial release of all of them and by some distance.

    Very impressive work 👏👏👏👏👏

  8. Posting from phanpy.social for the first time, I really like it! It's a website that lets you read and post to the Fediverse. My favorite iOS app, Toot!, may not be around forever and I've never found a solution I liked as much. But this might just be it. I'm especially liking the view where you can see what the folks you're following have posted in the last hour, and you can filter out boosts and only see their original posts. The ease of accessing lists is nice too.

    I was curious what it's like to post photos from the site, so here's Cal last night, sitting on a bag for some reason. Such a goofball. If he fits, he sits. The alt description field in Phanpy is big and easy to use, I like it a lot, and the image was easy to upload.

  9. trying to add new banner …,
    for some reason #Tusky keeps crashing
    I feel like its due to permissions conflicting because of #Samsung Knox but....

    What other Tusky like clients are there out there that can support glitch Masto?

  10. @Arnan It doesn't fit the timelines in the official Mastodon phone app. Which has the only Fediverse user interface out there that cannot fold longer posts in.

    The Mastodon Web UI can do that. All third-party Mastodon apps can do that. The Web UIs of just about the whole rest of the Fediverse from Pleroma and Misskey to Friendica and Hubzilla can do that. Phone apps for stuff that isn't Mastodon can do that.

    Only the haphazardly developed official Mastodon app can't do that because it's geared towards a Fediverse with only 500 characters, a Fediverse of a kind that has never existed.

    Mastodon is not the reference implementation of the Fediverse. And the official Mastodon app is not the reference implementation of Mastodon apps, much less of Fediverse apps. It only exists for there to be something official named "Mastodon" in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

    Just because Mastodon tossed out a lack-lustre app in 2022 for those who absolutely need something named "Mastodon" on their phones to access the Fediverse, doesn't mean that Fediverse software that has existed for almost six years longer than Mastodon and twelve years longer than that app must adapt to the existence of that app and cut down its character limit from 16,777,215 to 500 for all those who can't use Mastodon through something with another name on it than "Mastodon".

    By the way: Mastodon's way of cutting longer posts up into tiny chunks of no more than 500 characters goes onto the nerves of users of Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp-JS, Iceshrimp.NET, Sharkey, CherryPick, GoToSocial, snac, Hollo, Socialhome, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte and others. But they are not allowed to complain about that, much less tell Mastodon users who do that to move someplace that offers them more characters.

  11. Does anyone know how to fix the official #mastodonapps translation not working? It works fine on html or #Tusky but gives error on the official Android app🤔

  12. Recommendations for Mastodon apps. I use Tusky a lot, but now that my instance lets me Boost or Quote toots, it doesn't seem to support quoting. Maybe this feature is in the pipeline?

  13. @Droid Boy :coolified: @Der Achte Schwabe @Sascha Pallenberg 🇹🇼 ♻️ ⚡ Die offizielle Mastodon-App ist so ziemlich die schlechteste und unterausgestattetste Mastodon-App, die es überhaupt gibt.

    Viele glauben, die sei die Referenz-App, weil es ja die offizielle App ist und offizielle Apps ja eigentlich immer fully-featured sind. Tatsächlich ist sie aber eine Verlegenheitslösung, damit es im Apple App Store und im Google Play Store überhaupt eine offizielle App namens "Mastodon" gibt, weil 99% der Twitter-Umsteiger erstmal danach suchen werden.

    Was die nicht kann?

    Beispiel: Beinahe jedes Fediverse-Frontend da draußen rollt lange Inhalte standardmäßig ein, und dann kann man sie händisch wieder ausrollen. Außer superminimalistischen "Damit es überhaupt eine Weboberfläche gibt"-Behelfs-Weboberflächen von superminimalistischen Serveranwendungen ist die offizielle Mastodon-App das einzige Frontend, das das nicht kann. Die ist gebaut worden in der Annahme, daß es im Fediverse nur Inhalte mit maximal 500 Zeichen gibt.

    Dieses Manko in der offiziellen Mastodon-App ist wahrscheinlich einer der Hauptgründe, warum viele Mastodon-Nutzer sich über "lange Posts" mit über 500 Zeichen aufregen.

    Ich frage mich gerade, ob sie in der Lage ist, Textformatierung anzuzeigen.

  14. Feeling a bit overwhelmed keeping up with your feeds?

    Best-o-Masto is a new iOS app the brings you a concise timeline of 20 posts to view each hour based on most interactions.

    You can also choose a “top 8” collection of accounts and see them in a separate timeline.

    The feed is only updated every hour so no doom scrolling either.

  15. Making sound packs for #Mona is super easy and anyone can do it. All you need is wav files. You need only 8 files for a soundpack instead of 26 for Tweesecake. If you want to make new soundpacks and you don't want to have to do too much work, making them for Mona is simple.
    Here's what you do, make a folder on your computer, put 8 sounds inside the folder and label them for the different notification functions you want them to be used for and put them on your phone, then, open files and open mona, you'll need both apps open for this next process. Once you put the folder in files, you'll need to unzip the folder if it isn't already unzipped. Go to Mona, go to settings, customize and then click sounds, find the account you want the custom sounds for and click on it, then, click add sounds. It will go to the folders on your phone, click on the folder that was unzipped, it should not say .zip at the end, open it, inside that folder, it should appear with your 8 sounds, select all those sounds and then click open, once open is clicked, they will be added to the list of sounds you can use to make all your notification sounds unique to you. I hope this helps. #Mastodon, #MastodonApps #Blind

  16. Hvis dit feed er tomt og du mangler indhold. Så følg mig. Jeg booster en masse andre spændende opslag fra Danmark og udlandet. Tit om politik.

    Hvis du følger mig og er træt af dit feed bliver fyldt op af masse politiske opslag du ikke gidder at læse. Så brug phanpy.social . Kæmpe anbefaling. Jeg følger alt for meget. Og på vanila mastodon eller apps bliver mit feed alt for rodet. PÅ Phanpy bliver boosts vist seperat.

  17. @SoraSNS has a new feature coming out - merged timelines. Choose from all types of accounts - activitypub, atproto, nostr even. All content appears in a single feed!

  18. As with most of my posts in this realm, I will continue adding new #MastodonApps and #BlueskyApps as I stumble across them. So, make sure to revisit the post every now and then.

  19. Software review: Phanpy (Mastodon App)
    ★★★★★

    An app for Mastodon (and other Fediverse sites) that cuts through the clutter. Runs anywhere in a web browser, or can be installed to your device's home page as a portable web app.

  20. Introducing @CrystalApp, a new Mastodon app for Apple TV.

    Add your favorite hashtags to Crystal to play slideshows of photos and art from across the fediverse. It’s a little like having Mastodon feeds as your screensaver.

  21. My Ivory subscription is up for renewal in a couple weeks so decided to give the official Mastodon client (iOS) a test for a few days to see if it works well enough to switch back over.

    I could get on with it if I had to, but I’m definitely sticking with Ivory. My main issue is the way the official app doesn’t seem to remember your location in the feed and when it loads new posts, skips way ahead making you scroll back down.

  22. @Tealk
    Da stellt sich mir doch schon die Frage warum? Man weiß doch das Mastodon wenig kann, warum wird dann nicht eine eigene API angeboten?

    Weil man ohne die Mastodon-API überhaupt keine Smartphone-Apps hätte. Weil erfahrungsgemäß keine Sau irgendwelche Apps entwickelt für etwas, das nicht Mastodon ist.

    Bevor man also darauf wartet, daß sich jemand erbarmt und eine App entwickelt, macht man die eigene Serveranwendung "kompatibel" zu den existierenden Apps und den Apps, die in Massen entwickelt werden.

  24. CW: Tired, Wired & Co.: Fediverse apps; CW: long (over 1,000 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse beyond Mastodon meta, Bluesky mentioned, Nostr mentioned
    Tired: More and more Mastodon apps that only support Mastodon.

    Wired: Apps like Openvibe and Nootti that support Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr, but officially still only Mastodon on the ActivityPub side.

    Hired: Apps that officially include support for Akkoma, Iceshrimp, Sharkey, GoToSocial, Friendica etc. And I mean not only actually making sure that they do work in this app, but supporting features that they have that Mastodon doesn't. Like text formatting or two different server-side ways of quote-posting.

    Desired: Stable release of Relatica.

    Required: A Hubzilla app that isn't stuck in times when Hubzilla still had tech levels. Ideally for iOS as well because too many people in the Fediverse only have iPhones.

  29. There’s an amazing plethora of apps that make using this platform amazing, and I am happy to have paid for quite a few.

    I wonder if the next major frontier is interfacing with donations to the supporting the server and mastodons development. I have several friends who thought paying a subscription to an app meant they were also supporting their instance and masto API development… I hope app developers make that a reality someday!

  30. Was ich mir bei #Fediverse-#Clients wünschen würde:

    Eine Einstellung am Programm, für den Zeitraum X keine #Benachrichtigungen
    zu bekommen.

    Speziell, wenn ich am Rechner bin und dadurch eh alles schon gelesen habe.

    Das würde auch die Benachrichtigungsserver schonen.

  31. So I've been using the #mastodon app and it doesn't exactly work correctly every day so does anyone know if there's a better app to use for it? My notifications won't go away most of the time and I don't get notifications for everything and I miss stuff that otherwise I'd reply to.

    So if anyone has a suggestion, please let me know ✌️💜

    Would also love to see @metabolist Metatext to make a comeback.

  36. Hello #Mastodon friends!
    I’m looking for a great desktop app to manage multiple accounts. I don’t need multiple timelines, just the ability to quickly switch between accounts so that I can make posts on the other WebUrbanists accounts when needed.

    I’m currently using WhaleBird and ngl it’s a bit slow. I’ve also tried Sengi but it doesn’t suit my use case as this account is the only one that I browse timelines on.

  37. I am currently using Mastodon's official app but I keep hearing about other apps that let you follow hashtags. Although I see the official app has added this to its IOS version, so I assume, at some point, the android app will get this feature too? But this would be a very handy feature to have.

    What app are you using? Should I swap?
