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

Horrible app

Restlessplatypus on

Ireland

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

Nerdy Keith on

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!

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

Nopecantdeal on

Ireland

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

Keith, Wanderlog user and fan on

Ireland

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

Nick-99 on

Ireland

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
