Mastodon is the largest decentralized social network on the internet. Instead of a single website, it’s a network of millions of users in independent communities that can all interact with one another, seamlessly. No matter what you’re into, you can meet passionate people posting about it on Mastodon!
Join a community and create your profile. Find and and follow fascinating folks and read their posts in an ad-free, chronological timeline. Express yourself with custom emoji, images, GIFs, videos, and audio in 500-character posts. Reply to threads and reblog posts from anyone to share great stuff. Find new accounts to follow and trending hashtags to expand your network.
Mastodon is built with a focus on privacy and safety. Decide whether your posts are shared with your followers, just the people you mention, or the whole world. Content warnings let you hide posts containing sensitive or triggering material until you're ready to engage with them. Each community has its own guidelines and moderators to keep its members safe, and robust blocking and reporting tools help prevent abuse.
More features:
• Dark Mode: Read posts in light, dark, or true black mode
• Polls: Ask followers for their opinion and tally the votes
• Explore: Trending hashtags and accounts are a tap away
• Notifications: Get notified about new follows, replies, and reblogs
• Sharing: Post directly to Mastodon from any share sheet in any app
• Cuteness: Our mascot is an adorable elephant, and you'll see them pop up from time to time
Mastodon is a registered nonprofit and development is supported directly by your donations. There’s no advertising, no monetization, and no venture capital, and we plan to keep it that way.

Horrible app
I have no idea how to use it or how to follow people. It still hasn’t sent me an email months after downloading. I was told it was a good Twitter alternative but it’s trash. Fix it up and get rid of the server system it makes no sense I don’t even know how people are even finding things to follow all the servers I can see are not related to anything I want to look at.
Juttery scrolling
Scrolling very jittery, needs more work
Social Networking As It Should Be
I joined Mastodon shortly before leaving Twitter. I instantly fell in love with this platform. Eugene, actually understands social media (unlike Musk).
Mastodon actually has more freedom of speech than Twitter. With the added bonus of being as free and not tied to one specific company
I like it cos it doesn’t have Elon Musk
There’s a slight learning curve to using federated, decentralised social media service, but it’s worth it. No ads, no algorithm pushing outrageous content, and just generally nice and interesting people. The app itself is great. Give it a try!
New to Mastadon
It’s such a relief to find a social media messaging service free from the toxicity of Twitter.
Very happy with the App. I hope many more people sign up.
Turn off re-toots
I don’t think I’ll make the move over to completely unless we get a feature to turn off people’s re-toots a lot of people retweet stuff I’m not interested in or don’t want to see or in a different language
Server
It appears when you choose a server, when you set up the account, that you can only find people on that server? #Really? #ThatIsDaft! #Can’tFindAnybody…
Hands down better than Musks Twitter anyday
No more crypto fascists a good way to avoid hate!
time to explore
It’s a new place for me but enjoying so far. The app is sturdy and does exactly what it needs to do. Come explore 😊
Utter Rubbish
Cannot log in. Waited ages for emails then when they finally sent me a confirmation, the text boxes on the app don’t enable the keyboard! How am I supposed to enter my username and password - telepathy!
Seriously, test your app or don’t bother
