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

Better than Twitter

dswhite85 on

United States

Great source for news in tech, politics, and random comics and memes. Keep making this app better and I’ll keep using it!!

Mastodon is Another Horrible Social Media App

Cryptonized on

United States

Just set up a brand new account and made roughly 15 posts. Suspended my account with zero notification. Appealed and denied with no explanation. I’m starting to think all social media is owned by the CIA. Screw them all. Done with lame social media companies that could care less about their users!

Bad UX

You can't even increase the size of an image without it flying off screen.

Something is wrong

GirlyGossip910 on

United States

I keep trying to upload photos but they always say that “the token has expired” and I tried using ones of different sizes just in case too

It was ok, it’s currently broken

wikkit on

United States

Since the update it is showing posts on top of each other, showing the “load more posts” button every time for no reason, and sometimes showing things out of order.

New to social media

Okbut_nothanks on

United States

App keeps freezing when typing text. Very annoying. Already deleted app

What is this giant New Posts Button?

Neverinamillion on

United States

Please for the love of unnecessary features, let us turn it OFF!!! The recent update did not do anything to change the new giant New Posts button. It just sits there until you press it and if you have scrolled down, it takes you up to the top of your timeline, thus losing your place. Please, please, PLEASE make it go away!!!

A good app, still needs some work

LeftistTechBro on

United States

Room for improvement but the app works for the most part

Love the updates, but still crashes on iOS

Papoosey on

United States

I have noticed over time a significant improvement in my user experience with this app since I’ve been using. Recent updates have definitely streamlined things and improved robustness. That said, there still appears to be key stroke sequences that cause the app to crash. Wish the development team could crack this one issue…

Sidebar is too narrow and not adjustable
