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.

Can’t Login - Switching to Another App Causes Login to Revert to Selecting Server
Pretty good up to this release. Now can’t login since switching to another screen to obtain password and username causes Mastodon app to revert back to ‘login’ start losing whatever has been entered to that point.
Can’t get any futher
Still missing crucial features
This would be a fantastic App to recommend for people getting started in the Fediverse, but it still has some weird limitations that will keep it from being useful to social media users trying Mastodon out. The biggest one is that it still won’t let you upload an animated GIF with your post. That’s a huge oversight that makes the App far from ideal for posting. It’s a good reader, but if you need a separate app for proper posting experience, that’s sub-par
Scrolling is terible
Really bad jittery scrolling as usual across all ios devices. Cant use it on my 15 Pro Max with latest ios 17.4.
Masterdom
Brilliant app 👍 well worth the money 🙋♂️ Please buy it now on apple App Store 🤖
Censorship
Rubbish app but totally controlled speech. My account was suspended after I posted three posts critical of Israel.
Homepage offline
Running latest version and my home feed is blank saying offline. Tried reinstalling/resetting phone etc.
Crashes a lot
In particular:
* when responding to a poll
* when tapping to get missing posts
SECURITY WARNING
For some reason when this app is open your phone will not sleep and lock wich is both a waste of battery and a security risk. I though this would have been fixed by now but is been that way for months 🤷♂️ On the App Store to find an alternative now.
