Is using Mastodon in the app (vs in the browser) a mistake?

I've seen some comments like that, but today I noticed an egregious difference: one follower is listed in the app as having joined on November 18, but the same follower viewed in the browser is listed as having joined on November 3.

I've seen the same for multiple followers: in the app the follower appears with certain details, but in the browser those same apparently immutable data fields seem to hold different values.

The same user appears different in the app than in the browser.

Surely that's a bug?

@MedicalDemocrat I prefer using it in the app. But not the official one through. You miss a lot of things if you use that app.

I use Tusky for Android. And for ios there is Metatext.

@shibaprasad thanks for suggesting Tusky. I'm reading about it and other Android app alternatives now.

@MedicalDemocrat

Fedilab is probably the other popular one out there. Also chose Tusky because it exists on .

@shibaprasad

@shibaprasad I've been using Tusky for a day or two now and I do like it better. Thanks again for the suggestion.
