Mastodon

Where conversations happen

Published by: Mastodon gGmbH

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

Many thanks

Mick Mavromatis Chronobat on

Greece

Much appreciated

Excellent

Vrgsmm01 on

Greece

Twitter change name and I have found this incredible app! easy and simple as it was twitter in the beginning. Worth your attention

User hostile

nikostheater on

Greece

I truly tried to like it and on paper, it’s fine. It’s too user hostile though and the user unfriendliness starts immediately. For an average user it’s too confusing, too laborious and frankly the implementation is idiotic. I understand but the intention isn’t for mastodon to be a Twitter clone, but the interface and the implementation fails at both being a Twitter replacement and an alternative social platform. Unfortunately it’s not good enough, probably by design.

Ultra confusing

Mr. Nosto on

Greece

Although I 100% support its decentralized nature mastodon has missed a great opportunity to attract millions of users by making things very confusing for the average user. The mobile app requires that you browse through several instances and choose one to join while the web version takes you directly to the mastodon.social instance without an apparent way to choose a different one. I spent too much time trying to understand why I am asked to sign up again on the web and when I figured out what the deal was the instance which I had chosen on the app was nowhere to be found on the web. Please figure out a way to make this service much friendlier for users who come from traditional social media.

Stay away

They fishing mail adresses and passwords. Stay away registration failed always no matter what email you insert.

Buggy and hard to use

EmberSparks on

United States

I like the Mastodon concept but both the website and the app are buggy and hard to use. It took me 10 minutes to add my spouse while he was sitting right next to me and I still can’t figure out how to add his uncle. Please make this easier to use. I want to like it so much.

"Offline" bug

tigercranestyle on

United States

This bug happens a few times a week. Refreshing my timeline yields a toast msg that says "Offline". All other apps access data fine. The only way to resolve Mastodon not accessing data is rebooting my phone. Happens on iOS 18.1 and 18.2. Can rate an app high of you can’t use it.

Redesign.

AppleAntDude on

United States

I don't like the redesign.

Was great, getting worse?

Why do we need nicknames. on

United States

I'm only writing this out of confusion, as time went on the app started to slow down. Almost everything takes significantly longer to load than it did a month ago, and often times I'll find myself stuck infinitely loading a profile because I was trying to scroll to their first post. What is even causing this? Are the developees aware of this?

So buggy

TWOrganizer on

United States

Every time I use the app after I read through several posts, it will stop letting me boost or favorite toot. If I click on a photo or video, I can watch it, but then the app freezes on a blank screen. Super frustrating.
