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

Does not adhere to server character limits

Taxet on

Finland

At the moment the official app has a hard coded character limit of 500 which is the default I guess. However many servers go beyond that, so using this as the mastodon app of choice is not recommended for those outside the two official servers, as you will not be able to create posta that are over 500 chars (button gets disabled after going over). Will hopefully get fixed at some point, probably it was hard coded to save some time, but it’s time to get the limit from the server instead, I think. Until then, use something else. Unless you’re on the official servers, then this’ll do the trick.

Could not login.

Authentication with remote server fails.

Rotate for media????

hj45lp on

Finland

Basically good app, but huge minus is that one cannot rotate the phone to see media in landscape format. Text snippets (screenshots) are impossible to read, and videos/photos would be so much more useful if one could turn the phone sideways when displaying media!

Better than Twitter

InfinitePlayerr on

Finland

A very nice social platform, definitely beats Twitter!

Mastodonin arvostelu

Juho96 on

Finland

Siirryin käyttämään tätä Twitterin sijasta. Hyvin tuttu siihen verrattuna, tosin välilehdet vähän monimutkaistaa käyttöä. Puhelinsovellus silloin tällöin hävittää yhteyden

Bona aplikaĵo, sed mankas lingvo "Esperanto".

Rasisitinen ylläpito joka toimii vastoin yk:n asetuksia.

Fix it and fast

Finland

Currently almost unusable. Perf issues and all.

Great client

JoshStrobl on

Finland

I have attempted to daily drive several Mastodon clients for iOS, with Tootle being the most fleshed-out client. However, Tootle offers enough in its UX that it ends up creating undesired clutter. This official client offers a good start at providing a more approachable UX.

Nothing to complain

Jimboolio on

Finland

It just works and if something doesn’t it has been fixed quite quickly 👍
