Gonna go against the grain here and just recommend the default Mastadon app. It’s simple and gets the job done with no Bells and whistles. Not sure there’s much missing
Yeah I’m also on the default and not sure what other apps have going for them that make them better
Ivory is my favorite as long as you don’t mind supporting the developers. But a close second place for me is Ice Cubes.
I second Ice Cubes. I would recommend Mammoth as well, but feed loading can be super slow.
The official app loads super fast, but way too many limitations IMHO.

If you want greater adoption, especially for Twitter users, then we should be evangelising Misskey and Calckey/Firefish over Mastodon, especially given the feature set more closely mirrors Twitter.
Calckey/Firefish
Much more beautiful than mastodon IMHO
Thanks for the info about the other projects.

It's like Elon has read every book with an evil corporation in it and decided to make it his whole ascetic. X corp, sounds like the big bad that some plucky band of YA book protagonists have to team up to take down.
Is he saying we should all X communicate?
i never got into twitter, and the longer this goes on, the more glad i am about that
Can anyone help explain how to find content worth following on Mastodon? I made an account today and despite going through the #explore category I'm finding it difficult to find content or people I want to follow. The few things I've found end up just being Lemmy communities which kind of defeats the purpose of having a mastadon account at all.. maybe it's because I never had a Twitter, but the Lemmy/reddit/forum layout makes much more sense to me
Unfortunately this is not the fault of mastodon, its community or tech behind it as much as ... nobody from twitter actually moving to mastodon. There aren't many big influencers, companies or content creators on mastodon so your feed is just random people talking about random stuff. The lack of algorithm doesn't help either since someone's random showerthoughts have the same chance of showing up for you as does something trending that you'd actually be interested in.

That's a bummer, hang in there Mastodon, keep bloomscrollin
Hopefully a massive influx of Twitter jerks doesn't kill what makes Mastodon a nice place in the first place.
CalcKey should have been renamed ℂ instead of Firefish. Because.
Elon has no idea how to run a social media company. At this point he's just trying random shit hoping it will work. Get the platform operating successfully again and then worry about branding...
