To be fair though, Moshidon and Megalodon crash more often :blobcatgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:

@AndyGER @Mastodon @Tusky @megalodon

Andreas M. Heitmann :batman:

@ErikUden @Mastodon @Tusky @megalodon I do not use megalodon too often because of the way too small font and no option to change that.

On #tusky there are very rare crashs with my xiaomi redmi Note 12 Pro+ ...

@AndyGER @ErikUden @Mastodon @Tusky @megalodon my Megalodon has never crashed. Never noticed any problem with font size either, but I use it on my 8" tablet - I use Tusky on my phone. Both are great apps. My only criticism of Megalodon is that I've never found a way to see or allow follow requests.

@ErikUden
Really? I've been using Moshidon nightly build for months now and I really haven't faced any crashes. That's odd.

@AndyGER thanks to you i have learned about megalodon, and now my phone has a cute lil shark in it

AfroScribble

@AndyGER @Mastodon @Tusky @megalodon neither have "Add member to list" AFAICT... :psyduck:

Erik Uden 🦣🍑:coffefied:

@Mastodon Already is the best social media app on Android :blobCatEvil:

Andreas M. Heitmann :batman:

@ErikUden @Mastodon 😳 ...

By no means.

Many features i'm still missing and the app even does not care about people with handicaps like me. Not to mention the full support of the activity pub protocol.

You may take a look at #tusky ...

Joshix

@AndyGER @ErikUden @Mastodon these apps use the mastodon client api to get content, not activity pub

@Mastodon Awesome, thanks! Lists are by far the most useful feature of Mastodon for me, coupled with the twitterdeck-like interface. Glad to see them becoming more useful on mobile. :)

@Mastodon
I've created columns with selected members in them. 'Lists' seems an extra step since they can also only include followed members. Saves having to repeat aggregating members at time of each column creation. Can lists created by other members be copied and used (with non-followed members not displayed until followed)?

Nafeon :verified_solarpunk:

@Silversalty @Mastodon someone pointed me today, that you can exclude users in a list from being shown in the homefeed which helps a bit. You still have to follow, but you don't have to see the content always.

Silversalty

@NafiTheBear @Mastodon
On Xhitter I follow other members lists. One a newsperson. It includes wide ranging views, some of which I would not follow. I do sometimes respond, though w/o beligerence. Getting differing views seems of value though if the goal is a place with little controversy that might not be wanted.

@Mastodon better than @megalodon ? That's aiming high...
But if it lets me search post gifs that's a killer feature 😜

Megalodon 🏳️‍⚧️

@I @Mastodon partly, for sure - the lists feature is actually better. haven't gotten around to merge it yet, tho

G. Paul Randall

@Mastodon
Thank you for making "Everything" the default view in notifications. I think there should be a third option, "Follows" so I don't have to go scrolling to see if anyone has followed me. Anyway, this and the web client are now consistent with each other.

LillyLyle/Count Melancholia

@Mastodon Does it have translation support? It drives me crazy that Tusky doesn't have that ability.

Anis

@Mastodon si j'ai bien compris la nouvelle fonctionnalité des listes sur mastodonte sur Android c'est un peu comme les cercles de Twitter c'est faire des publications pour des personnes que l'on a sélectionné

narF ✌️🩵

@incroyable_anis Non, c'est plutôt comme les Listes de Twitter. Tu peux ajouter des gens dans une liste et voir une timeline avec juste ces personnes.

Exemple, tu fais une liste "personnes qui publient rarement" ou "fans de sport" et comme ça tu verra juste les messages de ces personnes.

Tu peux ensuite décider si les personnes dans chaque liste peuvent apparaître ou non dans ta timeline principale.

Ça répond à ta question?

Anis

@narF oui ça répond parfaitement à ma question merci beaucoup

DELETED

@Mastodon Love the app. Question: why does iOS version not have an unlisted posting option? 😬🫠

Mohab

@Mastodon nice to find 'Local' where I kinda expect to find it. NGL, @Tusky's simple and direct layout still makes more sense though

Alexander Miles

@Mastodon Does anyone know how get a true OLED dark mode instead of the gray, normal dark mode sets

DELETED

@Mastodon и где же глобальная лента? Правильно, её до сих пор нет в вашем приложение

Gregory

@lakai55 @Mastodon её нет, и это осознанное решение

DELETED

@grishka @Mastodon это ошибочное решение

MNeko

@Mastodon It won't be hard to top anything Elon Musk does to- er, WITH Twitter.

Thierry

@Mastodon
I would really like an option to autoplay video.

Special Parakeet

@Mastodon any chance you can make the home view not auto-scroll to the latest. I like to pickup from where I left off.

Tejas :mastodon: 🇮🇳

@special_parakeet
Yeah! It's really annoying. That's the only reason I don't use official Android app. Otherwise the app is good.

@Mastodon Nooooooooo
Bring back the logo
Do not take this away from meeeeee

@Mastodon
How good is it to see people in the comments arguing about which is the best app!
That's the sign of a healthy and vibrant Social Media Community.
Different people will always appreciate different apps, and that's why we need variety.

José Alberto

@Mastodon I have an issue with your app when trying to mention someone while using TalkBack. After typing @ and the first initial of the person I want to mention, it doesn’t verbalize the list of available users.

Gregory

@javm94 @Mastodon it does, just not automatically. You have to move the focus to the suggestion list (swipe right) to hear and select the suggestions.

Caroline Bell :verified_trans:

@Mastodon You're not gonna stop until the heat death of the universe at this rate.

tinsukE

@Mastodon oh wow, imagine if you could "load more" posts in chronological order.

Now that would be a killer feature, amirite?!

L.Yo :startrek: :linuxmintnew:

@Mastodon

It would be great and perfect when it could hold more fedi than just Mastodon.

I want 1 app for all, not 2 or 3. An option to import my #Pixelfed would be preferred. For now, I stay with @pachli

Samir Saeedi :firedoge:

@Mastodon and still, every single post with image previews gets blurry when I click on it. How can this be a thing?

Gregory

@thesdev @Mastodon it can be a thing because I'm dumb sometimes. Fixed and thanks for reporting.

Samir Saeedi :firedoge:

@grishka @Mastodon oh, thanks for the prompt reply! Sorry about my tone, I was frustrated.

bernard🦉:mastodon:

@Mastodon Siento que Mastodon se actualiza más para Android que iOS 🤔

Ricardo

@Mastodon an option to disable boosts and replies on the home feed, please?

Jon Roach

@Mastodon so you intend to retire at your peak? 😀

Andreas M. Heitmann :batman:

@Mastodon It would be very nice if you would think about #inclusion and that there are many people who have eye handicaps.

Please offer an option for bigger fonts in your app.

lonelyautomata

@Mastodon nice. And if it happens to be a bad update, we have alternative clients.

Johan_Vzla1

@Mastodon me encanta como han mejorado tanto la interfaz de @Mastodon para #Android 👍🏼😁 muy ligera y ahora se puede ver mejor las tendencia y me gusta las sugerencias que va dando, excelente trabajo.

Johan_Vzla1

@Mastodon una sugerencia que tengo, y si colocan la opción de traducir toot integrada así como en "X"? 🤔 en la app para #Android.

Usando algún traductor #OpenSource o #SoftwareLibre
Al menos podrían ponerlo a prueba en la versión web a ver qué tal... que les parece la idea? 🤔

RolandOfGilead

@Mastodon but did you fix the most annoying thing? The get new posts ribbon loses your place and then you have to scroll all over the place trying to find your place at last read root. Can't believe you shipped v1 with that annoying behavior.

Mark A. {FalconMarkSix}

@Mastodon The app doesn't respect the "Show with content warning" setting in the "Filters" section.

If you have a filter configured but you've disabled the "Show with content warning" setting (so filtered toots should be completely hidden), filtered toots are shown with a content warning regardless if this setting is enabled or disabled.

I think this is definitely a bug. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

jnthnkl

@Mastodon French translations are quite broken now with the update ):

Millions :biflag:

@Mastodon there should be an option to hide boosted replies (I want to make a list with lemmy communities but I only want the posts, not the replies)

TrailStash

@Mastodon how do these "new" lists different from the "old" lists that are already available on web? Very confusing feature release/naming.

Edit: I now have been led to believe it's the same feature. Just Android support for it. The blog post does a terrible job of making that clear.

bildar

@Mastodon Would it be possible to have a heart instead of a star when liking a post ? The heart is universal to mean that you like a post. The star indicates that you've bookmarked a post. But liking and bookmarking are not the same thing !

Muin

@Mastodon can you add
1.layout setting, wide layout {current layout}, compact layout {twitter/ x layout}

2.font setting, font size {big, regular, small}, font type {bold, regular, light}

3.avatar setting, square or circular

4.custom color for link, name & handle
