Description

Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what’s happening. Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
This is the official iOS app for Mastodon. In our app, you can:
EXPLORE
■ Discover new writers, journalists, artists, photographers, scientists and more
■ See what’s happening in the world
READ
■ Keep up with people you care about in a chronological feed with no interruptions
■ Follow hashtags to keep up with specific topics in real time
CREATE
■ Post to your followers or the whole world, with polls, high quality images and videos
■ Participate in interesting conversations with other people
CURATE
■ Create lists of people to never miss a post
■ Filter words or phrases to control what you do and don’t want to see
AND MORE!
■ Login and switch between multiple accounts
■ No spoilers! You can put your posts behind content warnings
A POWERFUL PUBLISHING PLATFORM
You no longer have to try and appease an opaque algorithm that decides if your friends are going to see what you posted. If they follow you, they’ll see it.
If you publish it to the open web, it’s accessible on the open web. You can safely share links to Mastodon in the knowledge that anyone will be able to read them without logging in.
Between threads, polls, high quality images, videos, audio, and content warnings, Mastodon offers plenty of ways to express yourself in a way that suits you.
A POWERFUL READING PLATFORM
We don’t need to show you ads, so we don’t need to keep you in our app. Mastodon has the richest selection of 3rd party apps and integrations so you can choose the experience that fits you best.
Thanks to the chronological home feed, it’s easy to tell when you’ve caught up on all updates and can move on to something else.
No need to worry that a misclick will ruin your recommendations forever. We don’t guess what you want to see, we let you control it.
PROTOCOLS, NOT PLATFORMS
Mastodon is not like a traditional social media platform, but is built on a decentralized protocol. You can sign up on our official server, or choose a 3rd party to host your data and moderate your experience.
Thanks to the common protocol, no matter what you choose, you can communicate seamlessly with people on other Mastodon servers. But there’s more: With just one account, you can communicate with people from other fediverse platforms.
Not happy with your choice? You can always switch to a different Mastodon server while taking your followers with you. For advanced users, you can even host your data on your own infrastructure, since Mastodon is open-source.
NON-PROFIT IN NATURE
Mastodon is a registered non-profit in the US and Germany. We are not motivated by extracting monetary value from the platform, but by what’s best for the platform.
AS FEATURED IN: TIME, Forbes, Wired, The Guardian, CNN, The Verge, TechCrunch, Financial Times, Gizmodo, PCMAG.com, and more.

Mastodon Reviews

Way better than Twitter

inquirer1 on

Canada

Marginalized groups can actually be safe on here and form their own instances. It feels like the old Internet forums.

Mastodon rocks

CanadianCrone on

Canada

A site that favours positive,respectful and yet varied opinions. I’ve enjoyed the input of many who post regularly and it has become my go-to source for current news and info. Canadian media fails miserably to provide factual unbiased reports. Mastodon fills the gap !

Account creation seems broken

kobewka. on

Canada

I’m stuck in this weird email loop trying to create an account. I made a password the account confirmation page takes me to my account settings to change my password, but it just endlessly brings me back to the same spot. Also why do I need to change my password I just made it?

So easy to use!

Great Twitter Replacement

Crash on launch with iOS 16.6.1. Please fix!

Almost there!

Adding a reliable 1-click way to retrieve and display the most recent posts, and a way to hide the sidebar on iPad landscape would make it 5/5 IMHO.

The Titanic has hit the iceberg.

Want to get totally lost, confused and interact with almost no one? Go back to Facebook or Twitter X , this Titanic has hit the iceberg!!

No instance access

can’t login to either of the mastodon instances to which I belong on the app so… totally pointless? Not sure why any would be missing.

Glitchy and Slow

DrSprockets on

Canada

I enjoy the community but find this version takes too long to open and update, so I tend to avoid it. I use an alternative which synchs to it and is quicker and easy to use. I still use it but I really hope they can address this issue!
