Tusky
Using Firefox you can make webpages into apps so I kinda like using that. Otherwise, Tusky.
I've only ever used Tusky or something derived from it (Husky is basically the same thing but more orange and cuter)
Just an FYI Husky and OpenTusky (or FreeTusky I forget the name) are mostly Tusky with it's restrictions on using banned far-right instances removed or something like that.
Husky is for pleroma. Pleroma is a lot better than mastodon. it's just not well marketed.
That's not surprising but the puppy icon is worth it I think, it's not Nazis are going to use it less if other people stop using it
I use Tusky, the UI is nice and clean, it's snappy, and generally works well in my experience.
I currently use Tusky, but I have used Fedilab. I found Tusky to be simpler, as Fedilab has a ton of settings. If you prefer customization, Fedilab is definitely your best bet. If you want to just use Mastodon without configuring anything, Tusky is great.
Fedilab. First one I liked when I started out on Mastodon a couple of years ago, and haven't felt a need to try anything else.
the website
None right know but when I do Fedilab.
Mainly because I'm the combination of a stallmanite and a lazy person
I use Tusky. Super simple to use for me. I gotta try some of the other options mentioned in the comments
Subway Tooter. It's the most customizable of the Mastodon Apps. I also often just use the mastodon.social mobile browser site is quite good. You could probably turn it into a PWA.
I've used Tusky, Fedilab and Husky and the various web front ends. I think Husky maybe the best out of the clients though Fedilab is really good albeit a bit overwhelming. Honestly though I just use the web front end most of the time though.
I have both. Tusky is a simple one and Fedilab has many options. Pixelfeed for some reason ain't working on both.
As none mentioned, Subway Tooter Is the most power user thing you can find, it's on IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo, you can manage multiple accounts, and perform actions on a toot accessible from one account with other account, have multiple conversations opened at same time, and the feature list go on.
I found tusky lighter and more reliable. In my experience.
Fedilab is featured loaded with many options I don't use (nor need).
Both easy to use and config 😉
I have no idea what F-Droid is, but I tried them all and I actually like the UI of the official app the best. It's missing a few features, but they're still improving it and integrating all the features.
I've been using Moshidon, it's based on the official app so it has the same UI, but it has a lot of extra features (following hashtags, viewing federated timeline, viewing timelines from other instances are the main ones I use that were missing from the official app).
Well shit, sign me up!
Megalodon. It's a fork of the official app with added features.
andstatus.
combine twitter and mastodon.
i take this back. twidere is way better.
