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.

Bug with the feed

rusty.wood on

Netherlands

When one opens the app, new posts are shown, but there is also the "load more" button in between the posts. Once the "load more" is pressed, new posts go away and old ones are shown. Pull to refresh doesn't work. Re-launching the app seem to "fix" the problem.

Keeps on hanging

Tiago Pires on

Netherlands

For whatever reason this keeps on hanging while creating post and you lose all your content. I guess this is related to some iOS or app update.

Share news with this app

Eric de Redelijkheid on

Netherlands

I can’t share news articles anymore with this version of the app. It say’s No Available Account.

iOS 16 ?

Not many users on older iOS than 16? Goodbye.

Sluggishly scrolling

Marco Raaphorst on

Netherlands

On iPhone SE (3rd gen) scrolling the feed looks very sluggishly. Like your battery is dying.

Jeetje wat niet-intuïtief allemaal

Ronald-2008 on

Netherlands

Toch wel een van de niet-intuïtiefste sociale media omgevingen die ik ooit gezien heb. Jammer.

bugs

scrolling on this app is always bugging out and media either takes a long time to load or just doesnt load at all no matter how good my connection is

Different servers confusing

teeweeoeoeoe on

Netherlands

I never remember on which server I signed up. Why should I care. Can’t I just login with my google account. This hinders mastodon growth. I know it’s decentralized, but it affects ux. How do I find my followers???

Two things are very wrong with the alt texts.

Krooshof on

Netherlands

UPDATE: this app boosts accounts and post that it’s programmer’s algorithm think are relevant for me, WHICH IS THE EXACT BEHAVIOR SOCIAL MEDIA APPS SHOULD STOP DOING! Writing good alt texts needs to be stimulated. This app does the opposite, in two ways: 1. It places a button saying “ALT” inside the image. Especially on the iPhone version, this button is BIG. It will stop people from filling in the alt text, as to not have this button in their artwork. Please put this button underneath the images. 2. The location to write the alt text in, is blocked off by the keyboard. Especially in the iPad, the workaround is blocked too. You can hide the keyboard, then click the field to type the alt text in, but then the keyboard comes up and overlaps this very field again, ironically making it impossible to see what you type.
