I have been shuffling through many Mastodon clients for iPhone for a long time and finally settled on @IceCubesApp since last year. It best suits my needs. But this post is not an app advertisement; it’s about something else. is a free and open-source app, and that alone is enough to consider paying for it. But the fact that it is excellent means that you actually should pay for it.

I will explain this post in my Wednesday YouTube video, so stay tuned. :drake_like:

What tips do you have for folks thinking of trying out Mastodon during this year?

3 of my tips:

  1. Follow the hashtag (yes you can follow a hashtag just like following a profile!)
  2. If you post and realize you forgot the hashtag, don't delete your post. Just edit it!
  3. Consider following the hashtag also. Many folks use it without realizing that is the official one.

What tips do you have?

Tips:

  • If you see someone mentioning a technology (or something else) you want to check out later, set a bookmark (Inside your client) in addition to boosting it, because it's hard to find what you boosted a few weeks later.

  • You are other people's algorithm. Make sure to boost interesting posts, otherwise they will not get visibility beyond an audience following the hashtag.

  • For those on iOS, have a look at , you can set in into a Twitter-like single column mode.
