Did you know you can install Fediverse servers' websites as apps on your phone? These "web apps" let you have the most fully-featured versions of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed etc as apps on your home screen, including notifications, full screen interfaces etc.
It's very easy to install web apps on Android and iPhone/iPad, full instructions in this guide:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse
Most web apps have more features than app store apps, due to restrictions in app store rules.

p.s. If you're wondering why you don't hear more about web apps, it's because Apple and Google hate them. Web apps totally bypass Apple and Google app stores.
Apple and Google enjoy controlling and taxing apps, but they have no control over web apps and don't get any money from them.
Apple even tried to stop web apps completely, luckily they had to back off: https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apple-backs-off-killing-web-apps
Web apps are a way of getting apps directly from the people who make them, without big tech getting in the way.

@d1re_w0lf no... someone else I know also had issues with Sharkey... it's the first app packaged by YunoHost that is giving me such a headache. Usually the installation is seamless 😭

Funny thing from the Computer Reset sale, I had PCjr keyboards but no cables (it's a weird custom thing, RJ11 sort of plug on the keyboard side, square thing on the computer side). So I asked if they had any cables left (I only got to Dallas at the very end of the sales and all the really good stuff was long gone) and the volunteers all looked at each other and laughed. They still had thousands of them, just boxes and boxes. It was apparently a running joke how many there were.

Alcune non le piglio perché magari me le ricordo un po' più in qua o un po' più in là di dove sono, l'età, la memoria, ecc... 🤪
