You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.

Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.

:android: On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot

:apple_inc: On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona

@feditips Decision paralysis when trying to decide which one to use 😭

FediTips has moved!

@Nyla_Smokeyface

If you have Android, use Tusky.

If you have iOS use Toot!, or if you don't want to pay use Ice Cubes.
