You don't need to download an app, you can use it off the weblink.

But if you would like a different UI there are many choices available.

They all have different looks and features.

Even I'm new, but I stuck to the browser version and now I'm used to it.

Alternate UI as follows

Tusky
Whalebird

@Full_marx @Samirr@mastodon.social @freemo Hi Samir and welcome. 😄

I find the web browser view quite nice and comfortable if reading and posting in my laptop. There's some wasted space at the edges, but it doesn't overwhelm the senses, and it's logical once you understand the basic ideas.

There are three main "feeds" to look at. The Local one is on your home instance/server. All public posts made there show in that list.

In your current instance it must be massive with so many users registered.

Then there's the busier "Home" feed, which starts pretty empty. Everyone's home feed is different -- it shows any posts made or boosted by the people you follow.

Adding people to follow is important, as it adds content to explore, and sometimes you will be surprised by lots of new things. Like me this morning, didn't even sit for breakfast yet, since we have a lively time in our instance at the moment.

Grabbed a coffee and been here for over an hour replying and looking things up! 😄

If you are using a mobile for access -- I found Tusky for Android really nice, and thats a big compliment sicne I would rather use a laptop/desktop for any serious work.

Stick around and ask questions, we are all learning together. Been here less than a week, it's so addictive. 😏
