Wondering which Mastodon app is the best? Some folks may not even know there are different apps for when coming over from . So hope this chart (which is a teaser from a blog entry later this season, sitting in queue waiting for scheduled publication) may be helpful. I know there are more apps, these are five I’ve worked with. My personal favs are Toot! and Tusky after long association (what, a month? 🤣 )

@mguhlin so confusing - none of these are the one I use which is the little purple elephant ones…..

@kswilcox That's the "official" app for Mastodon, but because it leaves out features (such as animated GIF responses among others), I stopped using it when I couldn't add an image. That's why I briefly reference it in the intro and don't include it. You may have a much better experience using one of the other apps available. I know I have and I've seen others say the same thing. The official Mastodon app will either improve or only folks new to Mastodon will use it, I predict. But then, I could be wrong. 🙂

@mguhlin ahah! Well my image uploaded fine but I totally want to use gifs!!!!! Thanks for the heads up!

@kswilcox Happy to assist! You can also add links to animated GIFs from other places, like Tenor.com
