    Hope this also feeds the growth of Mastodon as well. We need good FOSS alternatives to these corporate controlled social networks.

      I might try Mastodon now that I found and fell in love with Lemmy, are there any good clients for Android?

        Tusky is a neat Apps for Mastodon. Good for the those who want to start. There also many more like Fedilab, Moshidon, Trunks, Megalodon etc.
        For me though, I use Subway Tooter, this is an advance apps so the UI is rather intimidating.

        Fedilab. It costs $2.99 to buy it, but it’s the best and most feature complete right now. Elk is a good client, but it’s web-based (and can be installed as a web app on mobile). But it still has a lot of soul searching to see if it’s trying to be the “Twitter client” of mastadon or not.

        I use them both occasionally, and fedilab is my primary mastodon client right now for lots of reasons.

        I’m feeling out of place because I’m the only one running Trunks. It’s pretty much doing what I need but I’m a pretty simple drunk.

        I had been using Megalodon for awhile (a fork of the official client with lots of enhancements & fixes)

        Recently I’ve switched over to Trunks. It’s really a great app, especially for how new it is.

        I’m on iOS so I can’t say 100% but ivory is really well designed, I’m pretty sure that’s what the Apollo dev said he likes to use so I tried it and it’s good. Personally I’ve been using elk as a web app and it’s been my favourite so far. I don’t think there’s an app for it at the moment, just a web app, but I could be wrong

          I’d also recommend Ice Cubes on iOS, visually pleasing and pretty functional. And elk you can install as a half app thing where you click install from the url bar

            Just checked out Ice Cubes, pretty neat! Between Ivory, Ice Cubes, and Elk, I don’t know which to use! I’m currently paying for Ivory premium (or whatever they call it) but the other two are completely free to use from what I can tell. I don’t use Mastodon nearly as much as Lemmy anyway (I’d rather follow communities than people, plus I don’t know many accounts that I should follow on mastodon anyway)
