   Wait, the official Mastodon Android app is out?
   Why isn't it on F-Droid???

     @Reiddragon @Linux_in_a_Bit I found out that tusky actually supports push notifications, they explained it in this thread https://mastodon.social/@Tusky/108511076898621257

     @cilian @Linux_in_a_Bit I know it depends a lot on the ROM too because some Android ROMs are particularly bad about not allowing shit to run in the background, especially OEM ROMs and especially OneUI
     AOSP custom ROMs like Lineage, crDroid, AEX etc should be fine tho
     PublicLewdness repeated this.

     @cilian @Linux_in_a_Bit pretty sure it does but they just come with a massive delay due to Android background process limitations, Mastodon may be using GCM for that which bypasses the background process restrictions for notifications but adds a hard dependency to Google Play Services or microG which most apps on F-Droid would rather avoid

     @Reiddragon @Linux_in_a_Bit just installed tusky and it doesn't seem to have system notifications, have to refresh the notifs tab when the official mastodon app makes a notification

     @cilian @Linux_in_a_Bit oh yeah I remember now, the lack of a federated timeline was what made me look at Tusky when just getting on Fedi because it's where I looked the most to find people to follow

     @Reiddragon @Linux_in_a_Bit yeah local timeline is in the search tab and federated timeline isn't anywhere, they removed it because it's not moderated well enough for the play store

     @cilian @Linux_in_a_Bit just lays things out in a nicer way compared to the official client which places some stuff in odd places like placing the federated feed in the search tab (or was it the local feed they put there? can't really remember, haven't used it in a while)

     @Linux_in_a_Bit turns out it's only on IzzyOnDroid, not sure why
     tbh tho, Tusky's probably a better client if you're on Android anyway
