Mastodon being 65% was a surprise to me for sure. What's the best mastodon app?

Also how do I use it efficiently for tech related news and info? I never got into twitter.

Edit: I should probably specify for Android

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mammoth, Ice Cubes, Ivory all good on iOS

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

My vote is ice cubes for ios. Ivory was severely lacking in features despite it being paid.

Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Ooh, that sounds like a great feature.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 11 points 4 months ago

I like Tusky on Android.

Moshidon 100%

You don't, you use RSS.

You can look in the trending news section. One of many baffling design decisions of Mastodon is hiding all the trending posts, hashtags and news under the search function.

On Mac/iOS, Ivory is pretty dope: https://tapbots.com/ivory/

If you like PWA phanpy is nice on mobile or destktop

I use FediLab from FDroid

[–] Wijnie@feddit.nl 18 points 4 months ago

Does it include users from Threads?

[–] MrSoup@lemmy.zip 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Still, monthly active users are goin down.

[–] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 54 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Actually, users & active users went up last month.

[–] MrSoup@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You are right. In the graph there is a rise, but inside "Total MAU" pill it says "-47,901 since last month".

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, the other numbers all match the graphs, but that one is wrong.

I would report it to them but it seems like you need a github account to do that.

You can send a message to @dansup@pixelfed.social, creator of Pixelfed and FediDB.

Thanks!

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh thank the bunnies!

I don’t know why the numbers were trending down the past few months:

-when there are more third party apps than ever before and they are excellent and feature packed

-the servers have become more stable

-Lemmy is more well known

-there are many more communities now.

I don’t know why the numbers were trending down the past few months:

Maybe they were weeding out bots?

fediverse observer shows no growth (actually it shows a continual decline), could it be threads?
