Description
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what’s happening. Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
This is the official iOS app for Mastodon. In our app, you can:
EXPLORE
■ Discover new writers, journalists, artists, photographers, scientists and more
■ See what’s happening in the world
READ
■ Keep up with people you care about in a chronological feed with no interruptions
■ Follow hashtags to keep up with specific topics in real time
CREATE
■ Post to your followers or the whole world, with polls, high quality images and videos
■ Participate in interesting conversations with other people
CURATE
■ Create lists of people to never miss a post
■ Filter words or phrases to control what you do and don’t want to see
AND MORE!
■ Login and switch between multiple accounts
■ No spoilers! You can put your posts behind content warnings
A POWERFUL PUBLISHING PLATFORM
You no longer have to try and appease an opaque algorithm that decides if your friends are going to see what you posted. If they follow you, they’ll see it.
If you publish it to the open web, it’s accessible on the open web. You can safely share links to Mastodon in the knowledge that anyone will be able to read them without logging in.
Between threads, polls, high quality images, videos, audio, and content warnings, Mastodon offers plenty of ways to express yourself in a way that suits you.
A POWERFUL READING PLATFORM
We don’t need to show you ads, so we don’t need to keep you in our app. Mastodon has the richest selection of 3rd party apps and integrations so you can choose the experience that fits you best.
Thanks to the chronological home feed, it’s easy to tell when you’ve caught up on all updates and can move on to something else.
No need to worry that a misclick will ruin your recommendations forever. We don’t guess what you want to see, we let you control it.
PROTOCOLS, NOT PLATFORMS
Mastodon is not like a traditional social media platform, but is built on a decentralized protocol. You can sign up on our official server, or choose a 3rd party to host your data and moderate your experience.
Thanks to the common protocol, no matter what you choose, you can communicate seamlessly with people on other Mastodon servers. But there’s more: With just one account, you can communicate with people from other fediverse platforms.
Not happy with your choice? You can always switch to a different Mastodon server while taking your followers with you. For advanced users, you can even host your data on your own infrastructure, since Mastodon is open-source.
NON-PROFIT IN NATURE
Mastodon is a registered non-profit in the US and Germany. We are not motivated by extracting monetary value from the platform, but by what’s best for the platform.
AS FEATURED IN: TIME, Forbes, Wired, The Guardian, CNN, The Verge, TechCrunch, Financial Times, Gizmodo, PCMAG.com, and more.
What’s New
Version 2024.11
Just in time for Giving Tuesday, you may now see a banner at the bottom of your timeline inviting your support for Mastodon’s continued development (only when logged in to [mastodon.social](http://mastodon.social) or mastodon.online). You’ll also see a bunch of improvements, small and large:
Filters work better!
- Concealed posts no longer take up the full space of their content, which should make scrolling past them less arduous.
- Filtered posts now tell you which filter they triggered!
- Filters with the “hide” action should now actually remove posts from your feed completely, as intended.
- Content warnings have also been updated slightly — as on the web, if the content warning text is empty, only the attached image will be hidden.
Your privacy is better guarded…
- When you log out of an account, logging in again will now require re-entering the username and password.
- Deleting the app from your device and reinstalling will now launch as if you had never logged in.
The new user experience is a little better…
- The “Find people to follow” view is now dismissable even after you’ve viewed a profile.
- When you follow someone from the “Find people to follow” view, your blank feed will update immediately… and hopefully show you some cool stuff!
Some small visual improvements…
- Vertical-stacked layout of edit history labels, which fixes some spectacularly bad layouts when the localized strings are lengthy.
- Dark Mode icon now has a dark ‘m’.
And finally…
- Fewer crashes! File this under the customarily bland description “stability improvements” because although the refactoring projects involved have all the drama of sword dancing with freshly honed blades for the developer involved, you will hopefully notice nothing.
