Feditext, one of my favorite, consistently solid fediverse apps, (love it for GtS) is looking for iOS devs to swat at a bug or two.

The cross posting, feed smooshing app @openvibe has added RSS to your timelines.

Now the Github Readme also includes the badge to the Apple App Store. As you can see the app is available on many different stores. On App Store and Play Store it is available for a few bucks, so if you want to support us developers please consider getting it from there.

If you’re looking for a Pocket replacement, the good news is that there are tons of open source options available - if you’re willing to self host. And if you’re going that route, why not try a federated bookmarking platform? I know of two.

Might be a little biased as I’ve contributed once or twice, but Postmarks works great. Yes, it was built with Glitch in mind but I run it as a Docker container myself.

Today I learned you can swipe the top nav area in @ivory to switch between accounts.

With this release, Ivory now UNOFFICIALLY supports additional fediverse platforms such as GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET. I've tried these platforms with mostly success.

The better the Mastodon API support on your platform, the better your experience will be. Obviously, platform specific features like emoji reacts or reply controls aren't going to be available. Still nice!

Edit: SNAC and Hollo work as well now!

Nice touch to hashtags in the upcoming @trunksapp release.

Had some fun today installing @hollo because you can never have enough fediverse accounts, right? I'm definitely not avoiding the real world with this distraction.

Hollo is a single / low user platform for the fediverse. It runs on the @fedify framework and supports quote posts, markdown, and emoji reactions.

I went off the beaten path a bit and customized the composer file. Here's my notes on the install process.

Is it me, or does anyone else think the development for Mastodon apps has slowed down?
I’m predominantly an @IceCubesApp user, but I notice they and @ivory have t updated their apps in 3 months.

Not really complaining; just wondering if that’s it?

@pixelfed was mentioned in a Daily Show skit. Hopefully we can all take a joke, but a mention of a fediverse platform on a popular syndicated show is something!

I just love the fediverse. Where else can you find NEW features that include a flash player?! So fun. Plus some serious good stuff like rate limiting and abandoned instance guardrails.

Really nice touch for alt text on Phanpy. As your mouse hovers over an image, the corresponding alt text is highlighted below.

Y’all are sleeping on @trunksapp

@bonfire is building a native app, and they've started a blog series about the development process.

With big players like Flipboard, Wordpress, Ghost and Threads entering the fediverse, along with bridges to Bluesky and more….your choice of platform will be less about content (you’ll see it everywhere!) and more about the app experience and features you prefer.

Been on the TestFlight of this one. @feeeed is incorporating content from everywhere. While the configuration options says “Mastodon Handle” any fediverse handle I’ve thrown at it works so far.

PeerTube. Lemmy. Firefish. IceShrimp. Friendica. Threads. All alongside blog feeds, Reddit, YouTube, news services, personal photos, birthday reminders and more. The only thing missing is the ability to interact - like or reply direct from the interface.

Just found this custom @MonaApp icon today and it’s a winner winner chicken dinner.

Project Tapestry is on fire. Don’t think they will need 33 more days…support if you can! (Edited to add link to Kickstarter)

While the mastodon community has a meltdown over new verbiage attached to a post visibility setting, #Sharkey is offering up seasonal screen effects.

Sometimes you don’t need a good reason. Just add something random that brings a little joy to the table.

A nice collection of Lemmy apps to browse. Haven't heard of many of these - getting difficult to keep up with all the development going on.
