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

It’s official!

mattcoxonline on

Norway

Ok. So the app needs some work. It’s early days. But the fact that it exists is a great start.

Prøv det

Anbefales! Pro-tip: Prøv å ikke overtenk hvilken server du velger.

Slow and overheats the phone

Teknikkhuset on

Norway

The functionality is there, but there are odd hangs in various parts of the app where it becomes unresponsive for several seconds, and it appears to heat my iPhone 11 Pro up. It's also a little odd for an official app to ignore character limits from servers and be hardcoded to 500 characters.

Commenting still not fixed

Doc Stock on

Fix this bug!!! The app freezes after about 150 characters and I have to restart. It’s been like this for months! Fix it!

Better than twitter

My mastodon feed tends to be better than my twitter feed after Musk started his latest crusade

Not really an option as bad as twitter in as far as privacy is concerned Security verification fails consistently and installs permanent cookies

Horrible content

Amsiz on

Norway

Came across content that should be illegal in just a few clicks. No moderation whatsoever, a perfect example of what happens if social media isn’t moderated properly.

Ok-ish

Main show-stopper for using this now, is images of screenshots of text doesn’t rotate when I turn my phone to get a readable size without cutting line length. Also wish I could disable having to click to reveal stuff. I’m an adult. I can handle it.

Omitting core features of mastodon

VegaFjord on

Norway

This app doesnt include local nor global content which is core functionality in Mastodon. This will create an headache when I welcome people to join my instance. I need to explain them to not use the official mastodon app. Its another obstacle that might turn people away from my community. Additionally, you can only sign into a single account. Meaning that you have to commit to a single society. The app is a hindrance to blooming small societies in Mastodon. It takes away decentralized in decentralized social media. I encourage the reader to use the Toot! app instead.
