One of the best posts I've seen on here was: "Mastodon is for what you love, not what you hate." I for one am devoted to keeping it that way.
@Fragglemuppet Here!Here! That is why I came over to the Fediverse as soon as I heard about it. The part that confuses me, however, is what app to use. Mastodon was the first to pop up in a search, but some how ended up at universeodon.com? Still learning how this Fediverse world works and how to access it. It reminds me of accessing Tor, lol.
@loyalnewb @Fragglemuppet here are some suggestions... I just stated using Tusker & it's good so far. https://allthingstech.social/@kylewritescode/110647031659709410
@ShaniKom @Fragglemuppet I have android
@loyalnewb @ShaniKom @Fragglemuppet Tusky is working well for me.
@loyalnewb @ShaniKom @Fragglemuppet Others understand all of this much better than I do, but I believe:
Mastodon is one particular service in the fediverse; others include Pixelfed.
You can access Mastodon through a web browser.
There is an official Mastodon mobile app and other mobile apps like Tusky.
You *might* find an answer here:
@loyalnewb @peterdrake @Fragglemuppet The apps all work with Mastodon, some cost money or have a subscription. Try a free one, see if it works well for you. ...you can always switch to another, it won't effect your account. They each are slightly different in their features... kinda like models of tv's, they have different features but you can watch the same shows on each of them.
Mastodon works on computer browsers too. Use that to compare if the app you chose works for you.
@peterdrake @ShaniKom @Fragglemuppet One thing that is REALLY confusing me is, what is the difference between apps like Mastodon and Tusky? I am not sure what other apps there are for the fediverse.
