So #Fediverse, tell me - are there any Mastodon clients you really like for the desktop? Specifically, I am hoping for something with a GUI, linux native, and has support for vim motions. The stretch goal would be something cross-platform.
I'll just download and test a bunch if I have to, but hoping one of you can save me the effort, because so far my search-engine-fu is not yielding any results regarding vim-motions. (which I concede is a bit of a long shot)
Cool to see another @elk fork

Mac users take note: Oliphaunt, a native macOS client for the Mastodon social network, is now in Beta on TestFlight - #Mastodon #MastodonClient #apps #TestFlight #Beta #BetaTest #MacOS
I updated to the latest version of “Ice Cubes”, the Mastodon client. Now I’m not getting notified of posts in my notifications section. I went a day without a single notification, and thought it was really strange. I went into the app, and found long conversations that I had completely missed out on. Time for some troubleshooting to determine whether my install is corrupted, or if the new version has a bug, or if there is a problem on my OS.

Please define "best".

Thank you so much, Jon, @jon ! I appreciate the whole suite of services.
This msg is sent from my non-Vivaldi, mas.to Mastodon account. I use, and like all the client software built into Vivaldi, though. Especially the free VPN !
Thanks again, for all you do.

After using @phanpy for a while, I come to understand just how great this Mastodon web client is: https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy?tab=readme-ov-file
This is what you'd expect from a "modern" web client, i.e. it meets expectations you'll have from using other top-notch web UIs that were built with the users in mind (and with minimal, state-of-the-art frontend technologies).
Also, it's got such a great logo

Today I experimented with a multi-column layout for the #ManfredApp for #macOS and #tablets. #Mastodon #MastodonClient. Looks promising, but still needs improvement.
Does anyone has a good #mastodonclient recommendation? #moshidon keeps crashing mid post #mastodon #mastotips
I have released a new version of #ManfredApp for #iOS. It features a share button, larger font size on posts and an updated post timestamp.
Feel free to join the #TestFlight test and become an alpha tester. I am looking forward to your feedback.
New app update! v1.28 now adds all mentions in parent post (not only the post author) to the compose view in the create screen (i.e. reply all by default).
It also makes it easier to delete mentions while writing (see attached video).
Please support Rodent by rating the app. Thanks for your patience!
New app update! Thanks everyone for your feedback.
- New OLED theme (pure black).
- Now it asks for notification permissions only once.
- Crash fix in media captioning.
Also, did I mention that replies can be collapsed by a long press (see attached video).
