Folks!

I wanted to use the Mastodon #app cause it’s purple and #cute but I have not been able to get it to work for me - it refuses to find #socialbc

What’s another one I can use? It’ll help me be more engaged and responsive.

I’ve had pretty good luck with the Ice Cubes app. Lots of people do find the Mastodon app to be less user friendly.

Android or iOS? For Android, Flare is great - and it also allows you to cross-post to things like Bluesky if you also have a presence there! f-droid.org/packages/dev.dimen…

For iOS, I've heard good things about Ivory. When I had an iPhone, I used Toot, which I found ok-ish

you're right: having a client you enjoy really changes the ezperience. I hope you find the right one soon!

I use Ivory. It has iPhone, iPad and macOS versions. And has a free and one-time price too. Been using it for 3 years.

The mastodon app is getting better but still not exactly intuitive, but I can confirm socialbc.ca does work on it!

Here’s how to use it.

1) In the first screen when you open it. Make sure to hit
“Log In”. You already have a socialbc.ca account.

2) type in socialbc.ca to search for us and tap us when we appear. (Assuming we do!)

3) then use your email and password that you use on socialbc.ca to login.

There is no step 4! I hope! 😃
You rock!

Toot! (which isn’t the same as Toot) is by far my number 1—and it has the cutest and most fun visuals! Ice Cubes is a close second. Both find my tiny instance without an issue.

The official app, sadly, is universally panned…

Looking forward to seeing more of you!

I’ve had great experience since 2023 with the iOS app “Toot!”

Bug free, full-featured, easy and intuitive UI. I’ve tried others and found Toot! suits me perfectly.

#tusky also works well, I think it's web based but you can have a shortcut on your phone.

FWIW I only use @phanpy in a browser, both on desktop & mobile - I can't think of anything missing, let alone anything I would need to switch for an app to have 😊

If you’re on iOS/Mac, I’ve used a few of the apps out there and settled on @ivory, works brilliantly across iOS, iPadOS, ans macOS.

has anyone mentioned Tusky? It's Canadian, and I've heard good things about it.
in reply to Tanille

what kind of phone do you use? @moshidon is my preferred app on android

@IceCubesApp is popular on ios

theres also phanpy.social which u can save to your desktop and use in lieu of an app

I think @MonaApp has the best customization of all, and in fact I installed a lovely purple theme from @chamona

#Fedilab is a nice app that supports other fedi platforms such as Pixelfed.
