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

If I understand correctly, it is funded by a VC firm? I'm dubious about VC involvement on the Fediverse.

@feditips no idea man I just want a working Twitter 😭😭

FediTips has moved!

@destdrom

Sure, but the problem is if there's VCs involved then it could end up with the same problems as Twitter.

Part of what keeps this place safe is not having VC money here.

@feditips does VC mean virtual currency and what does that have to do with firms?
