If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options:
:android: Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab
:apple_inc: iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot!
? Computers - Log in through your server's website
Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon!
(Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn't find one. You don't need to use it!)

@feditips I tried Metatext and liked it, but I actually think the official app is faster and smoother.

@feditips mastodos is good too

@feditips Also, Pinafore is an alternate web interface for those looking for something along the lines of Twitter.

@feditips i can't figure out what tusky wants for login. it asks what instance. i've tried every variation of my url & none have worked.

@feditips MetaText won’t let me login (says incorrect email or password). When I click to rest password, I never get the email (checked spam, etc). I can only access my account from my Mastodon acceptance email. Help!

@feditips good to know. I thought I was doing something wrong by finding the #Mastodon mobile site easier to use than iOS #MastodonApp!
MostlyTato
@feditips I'm opening it in Opera mobile and just that seems like a pretty good mobile version of the desktop site.

Metatext works great on a iPad… ?

@feditips I am now using the free Tusky app, much better than the native app. Thank you!

@feditips just switched to Metatext on iOS, it’s way better!

@feditips none of it makes sense to me. It’s miraculous I even post here. All these different servers, etc. thank goodness for Discord so I can find my sports fans.

@feditips Thanks for your tips, I am a slow learner and they really help.? . Log in thru server, but are there glitches if using a Chromebook?

@feditips I tried Tusky shortly but ended up sticking with the official Android app. I like the layout better and didn't see enough advantage to Tusky to make the switch

@feditips thanks for these tips! I downloaded metatext and toot after using the official app for some time.
Not sure which one I’ll stick with!

@feditips I keep seeing this with no mention of running the web interface as a PWA.
YOU CAN INSTALL THE WEB INTERFACE AS AN APP on both phone and desktop.
