About this app

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!

Join a community and create your profile. Find and and follow fascinating folks and read their posts in an ad-free, chronological timeline. Express yourself with custom emoji, images, GIFs, videos, and audio in 500-character posts. Reply to threads and reblog posts from anyone to share great stuff. 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. Content warnings let you hide posts containing sensitive or triggering material until you're ready to engage with them. Each community has its own guidelines and moderators to keep its members safe, and robust blocking and reporting tools help prevent abuse.

More features:

• Dark Mode: Read posts in light, dark, or true black mode
• Polls: Ask followers for their opinion and tally the votes
• Explore: Trending hashtags and accounts are a tap away
• Notifications: Get notified about new follows, replies, and reblogs
• Sharing: Post directly to Mastodon from any share sheet in any app
• Cuteness: Our mascot is an adorable elephant, and you'll see them pop up from time to time

Mastodon is a registered nonprofit and development is supported directly by your donations. There’s no advertising, no monetization, and no venture capital, and we plan to keep it that way.

So far so good! Need to add the feature to allow notifications when specific accounts post. Allegedly available on web but needs to add to mobile. Love the chronological post order but you can easily miss a post from a favorite account. Also you don't see each posts up to date boosts and favorites before interacting with it. When I favorite a post, it then updates and shows more interaction than initially.

I love Mastodon, but lately this app has been extremely glitchy. Eg, right now I am unable to send any posts, the app will not update notifications, etc & just keeps buffering. The issue was taken care of very promptly by the instance administrator within minutes of finally getting a post through telling them about it. They genuinely care at Mastodon.

Decent app so far. I like that it uses the Material You colors! Seems like it's missing a few features that are available on the browser, like hashtag following. The Mastodon community is fairly global, so I would really love it if the translate language option was more easily accessible on posts instead of just a drop down option.
