@CathyBikesBook i ended up settling on Moshidon. it's on f-droid. maybe not as feature-rich as something like Fedilab, but the interface appeals to me more.

@CathyBikesBook Moshidon for me. Extra points too for Phanpy.social which doesn't have an app but works great saved as a Web app. Others will probs say Tusky or Pachli (the latter an improved fork of the former).

I currently like Tusky the most:

@emsquared @CathyBikesBook I've been happy with Tusky. I didn't know about Pachli; I'll give that a try.

Trunks is my preferred app, Pachli second choice.

@CathyBikesBook I currently use FediLab. It does Mastodon, PeerTube, and a bunch of others. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/fr.gouv.etalab.mastodon/

@banderkat @CathyBikesBook Very receptive developer (Pachli) . The app is on Mastodon. Moshidon justbhas the features I like to keep me with them and Phanpy (mostly the ease of saving various local instance timelines, hashtags and lists as shortcuts) but obviously we all appreciate different things.

@CathyBikesBook
For me Tusky has best optimalization, but Fedilab has better timeline filtration. Moshidon had too many crashes while post composing on my device. -

@CathyBikesBook No idea if it's the best, but I've quite been enjoying Moshidon

@CathyBikesBook I settled on Tusky for a less cluttered interface after FediLab had too many features I did not need (no FediLab hate!).

Regarding Tusky: I've read that some users complain about a lagging behaviour today. So if that happens to you - be aware that it might just be a temporary hiccup.
In general, I've been through 3 or 4 apps and finally stuck with a "homepage icon" on my android that simply launches my web browser.
Reason why I wasn't satisfied with the apps was that they overcomplicated the whole stuff and most of them didn't make it easy to use alt text in pictures, set toot language, etc. But then again, that's like 3 years ago and these apps probably received updates for the respective features in the meanwhile?

@CathyBikesBook I'm using Moshidon - very good for me

@CathyBikesBook Best is very subjective, but I'm a big fan of Subway Tooter. it's very customizable, works really well on both tablets and phones and handles multiple accounts. the best of any I have found.

@CathyBikesBook Commented on your other post before I saw this, my bad. It's not offered as an android app on any store/repo, but: Phanpy. It has so many useful features like posts that will show replies as a branching thread so it's significantly easier to follow conversations. Or grouping boosts. Or the ability to "switch" to some other instance and see if you're missing interactions/replies because federation be (or not) federating.
The mobile version is great, and its a PWA (progressive web app) so it can kinda be installed as an app from Firefox. Can help you do that if you'd like, if you end up trying it and like it. Lemme know!

@CathyBikesBook Oh, and I believe it's on both fdroid and Google Play. It's definitely on fdroid, I'd have to double-check Google Play

@CathyBikesBook@mstdn.plus the best first Party App is #Fedilab and then #Tusky.
mastodon is the worst third party app

@CathyBikesBook I've settled on Tusky. There's also alternative web frontends that can be used as PWAs like Phanpy that are quite interesting feature wise
-
@blag if you liked something, like it. If you think others might be interested in it, or should see it, boost it. If you have something to say, reply to it. This is my strategy.
-
@emsquared Absolutely! I still prefer Elk on desktop.
-
@candide Still got love for Elk BTW. Used it for a long while but Phanpy has that X factor.
-
@candide ah great. Glad you are getting on with it. Bit quirky at first but it works really sickly. The catchup feature is the secret weapon. Enjoy.
-
@emsquared Thank you for the Phanpy recommendation! I've been using it for a few days now and I absolutely love how it handles boosts! I thought it being a PWA would be an issue, but it actually works out really nicely. I like it even more than my previous favorite web app, Elk.

@stefan @cheeaun unfortunately I don't have any information on that (and we don't track specifics so it would be difficult to comment I think; will ask some folks about it though)
-
@stefan as for the linked post of Alice: yes, our instance was spammed by botnet, creating sever accounts spreading pro-russian propaganda (mostly, sometimes chaotically randomly interacting, for some time. I even had some chat with botnet operator (or maybe it was AI, but I doubt it). The demanded to cancel local pro-ukrainian account: it is not operated by me, and it is very polite, not even any gore videos or so, and it is anyway just mirror from Facebook (they like my local 2000 characters limit).
So I know, how this feels, kinda.
The "reply-guy" issue is completely different. We just tend to reply to certain topics. Sometimes we do it, because we consider it funny. Most of the replies are not intentionally hateful, but they may represent point of view alien to original post.
The LGBTQ topic is ... complicated, somehow. I actually started taking this seriously only after I saw Putin's propaganda machine targeting them as an example of "western decadence". Then I realized, that of course, that something is terribly wrong there and I saw the source of hate speech aligned with other types of propaganda, eg. climate change deniers.
While creating safe space for vulnerable minorities is important, I also seek kinda normal, non-safe, adult space: but just not controlled by corporations. So while I understand the need to leave eg. Xitter because of hate speech, and I don't want it there: I also want to do most of the stuff me and other people did on Xitter, we just don't want to be owned by the new owner.
And I am really not a minority of any kind (maybe just slightly neurodivergent, but probably rather typical). I just wanted to be somewhere else. I spent some effort to run the place and help to promote it. But my vision is not "minorities only", "safe space only". Of course: no nazi bar. But I am federalist, not intersectionalist.
Most people just seek interaction (with live people, no bots, no AI) and can withstand some amount of interaction...

PSA, the new Android 16 update will surreptitiously reenable fingerprint device unlock even if you had intentionally disabled it before.
