    MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.What makes it different:• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline• Markdown posting for snac• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account• Blocking and moderation tools• Very small footprint, very low RAM usageAlt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.Important note:MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.TestFlight link:https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1kStay tuned.#MastoBlaster #iOS #Apple #Fediverse #Mastodon #snac #GoToSocial #Akkoma #ActivityPub

    A company with an actual monitored (not bridged) #activityPub account makes me happy

    I don't think it takes billions to build a platform but it does seem that it usually requires millions to get more than a few people using it. I have accounts on loops, lemmy/piefed, mastodon, element and more. I've never met a person IRL that uses them and I've never gotten to know anyone in an online community (gaming, interest forums, etc.) that use them. Viewing my loops app makes me feel like I'm alone on an island. The communities I follow on Lemmy/Piefed will go weeks without a post. The communities I manage will go the same without a submission from the community. Now that my immediate family have grown tired of the bugs on element after I forced them to use it to chat with me, I am literally the only person I know on the messaging platform. I love open source but if I were the type of person that required a true sense of a well-rounded social community, I would use something like tiktok to scratch that itch.
