User Reviews for Mastodon for iPhone and iPad

Issue posting images

I love mastodon but lately I’ve been having issues posting images. I’ll do image descriptions and captions and then when I go to write my hashtags the app crashes completely and I lose all my progress. It’s frustrating because I do detailed image descriptions and I lose all of those every time this happens.

Human microblogging

To start, this won’t replace your twitter TL “fix”. However, it is really excellent for building a community you want to engage with. Onboarding could use a little work, but once you find an instance you vibe with it’s super cool. People tend to engage constructively, and the mods on most instances are super helpful. Highly recommend this as an alternative to doomscrolling

Improves the On-Ramp to the Fediverse

This app allows you to easily get connected around the world, to learn and collaborate with other users of the exponentially growing Fediverse social platform network. You can easily find a server via search, and review their descriptions. The e-mail verification process during the joining process is seamless. Once you join a server (instance), it is easy to find and explore accounts to follow. Those accounts might follow accounts on other servers, which allows you to explore additional communities.Your Fediverse experience can evolve with you deciding to eventually sign up to a different server that better suits your needs. You can find more complex features on your server and on the Fediverse in general when you use a web browser to access your account, but this app provides a perfectly comfortable user experience for those new to the Fediverse.

Amazing improvements

When I first got the app, I liked the aesthetics but there was quite a bit missing. I couldn't see those I'm following or my followers. I couldn't use multiple accounts without a hassle. I didn't understand how to write direct messages (this was a misunderstanding on my part) and I couldn't view the federated timeline. Fortunately in 1.2.0, it's now possible to see followers and those you're following. Possibly more importantly, multi account support is now stellar. Using multiple accounts is vital on decentralized platforms and protocols such as ActivityPub, and this gets it right. Maybe the federated timeline will come later, or maybe it'd be difficult to justify given Apple's strict rules, but it's chaotic and spammy enough that I don't mind logging in on a browser for the few times I need it. I love how quickly this project is taking shape. Its UI is simple yet does exactly what I want it to do. And that wouldn't be possible if it weren't a free and open source project!! Props to MainasuK and Gargron :)

How janky can it get?

I like the Fediverse idea and ideals. That said, I've now had to reset my account or password on Matodon at least 3 times. This means at least once I totally lost all my followers and followings. Further, if one uses a very secure browser (I kind of thought Mastodon was at least a bit into privacy and security) then it's impossible to logon. COMMENT ON FEDIVERSE: Don't be foolish, the illiberal and corporate actors will, and probably are, use the Fediverse to further their anti democracy agendas and for greed. Be vigilant. Free speech requires responsibility.

Nice introduction to the Fediverse

I already had an account on Mastodon so haven’t tested the in app onboarding but overall the official app feels like a good introduction to using Mastodon. To further enrich the experience moving the community timeline to the main navigation area rather than in the search menu and adding some access to the federated timeline would give users a more complete Mastodon experience.

Great app. Needs Local and Federated timelines.

This app is beautifully put together. It’s privacy respecting. And, it’s frequently updated. Who could ask for more? Me! As many other have agreed, please add Local and Federated timelines? Maybe they could be hidden behind an “Advanced” section in settings and be “activated”. Their omission makes the app next to useless for me.EDIT: the “local” timeline is now included! It’s a little hidden, but it’s a step in the right direction. Thanks Eugen! Mastodon is an incredible place.

Better Twitter than Twitter (and Musk-free!)

Like over 100,000 other former Twitter users, I joined Mastodon in April 2022 because I didn’t want to be on a social media platform owned and governed by the whims of an unkind billionaire. I did expect it to be sloppy and barren, but my expectations were laid to waste. Mastodon is crafted thoughtfully, with an eye toward building communities of people with similar interests run by people that you’re likely to know. And all of these little communities are connected to one another. Discovering people to follow takes a little more effort, but YOU are in control! YOU get to decide what server to join (or start your own) and each server can have its own rules, decide what other servers it will connect with, etc. freedom of speech is there, but so is a culture of kindness. I’m here to stay! Other Twitter refugees should come here. But remember you’re not sliding into some corporate wasteland site; you’re joining an individual person’s intentional community, so be a good neighbor!

Remarkable

I decided to explore alternatives to Twitter lately and stumbled upon this world decentralized social media and I was pleasantly surprised to find real respectable people, I have yet to encounter a ‘troll’ or content I find offensive or frustrating. The app has many features to tune out the noise and it’s driven by real people talking about real things. It’s a lot smaller than Twitter, there are no celebrities here and weirdly, it works. There is a learning curve but other users are extremely helpful in explaining things!

Signed up 3 weeks ago, still can’t get in

I have been waiting for approval on an instance I wanted to join since April 26. I don’t know how to contact the person running the instance to check in, and I can’t figure out how to contact Mastodon to ask. (Tried a Twitter message, to no avail)So I literally haven’t even been able to look at anything this app has to offer, I just keep trying to log in, and have it tell me my application is still being reviewed…Guess you have to be tech savvy to know what to do at this point, so I’m giving up. :(

Description

Mastodon is the largest decentralized social network on the internet. Instead of a single website, it’s a network of millions of users in independent communities that can all interact with one another, seamlessly. No matter what you’re into, you can meet passionate people posting about it on Mastodon!

Find new accounts to follow and trending hashtags to expand your network. Mastodon is built with a focus on privacy and safety. Decide whether your posts are shared with your followers, just the people you mention, or the whole world.
