Ivory for Mastodon by Tapbots
Universal Apps
Before Elon Musk ruined Twitter, in part by eliminating third-party apps, I was a big fan of Tweetbot. After the Twitter-pocalypse, I stayed away from social media for awhile (except for Reddit), until I found out that most of the tech folks I enjoyed following had moved over to Mastodon. There are a variety of apps for accessing the network including a native app, Mona, Ice Cubes, Mammoth and Radiant but the one I chose was Ivory for Mastodon by Tapbots, the same developers behind Tweetbot.
Features include:
- Beautiful design
- Fast performance and smooth scrolling
- Many theme and app icon options
- Support for multiple accounts
- Create and view content warnings
- Create and participate in polls
- Easily search for and post gifs
- Customizable push notifications and viewable notifications tab
- View post statistics for the day and graph for the week in the stats tab
- Powerful mute filters with regex support
- Ability to follow hashtags
- Bookmark posts to refer back to privately
- View local and federated timelines as well as trending posts
- Powerful timeline filters to quickly show/hide posts of different criteria
- Never lose your place in the timeline across Ivory on multiple devices including iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
