Personally, I find it the easiest to use Mastodon app. However, it is a bit disappointing that there is no section where you can only view images from your own account. Since I use it as an alternative to Twitter, I would be happy if you could add an image section to your account.
Capitalization problems
Ice Cubes on my iPhone and iPad work well. For some reason trying to type some capital letters using a wireless keyboard in Ice cube on my iMac results in missing letters. Lower case versions of the same letters work. N, L, T and are major problems. Mysterious.
