And while we’re at it, can you guys recommend the best mastodon client?

I frequently read things about mastodon in lemmy and that pique my curiosity. I just want to try it and probably stick with it if my experience is good.

Thanks in advance!

    I am on Mastodon.social, and I use the official app (this one) . I think the official app is quite good, I haven’t had any kind of problem with it.

    For reference though I literally never got I to Twitter. I got I to Mastodon to boost fediverse engagement, and while I’m enjoying it I’m not what you’d call a power user so if there are features other apps offer that the official one doesn’t I wouldn’t know what to do with them.

      I also didn’t use Twitter but wanted to try to get into mastodon. One thing to note is that the official mastodon app currently doesn’t allow you to follow hashtags, only people. The FEDILABS app allows you to follow topics by hashtags. Since I’m new I didnt have any people I knew of to follow off the bat, so it was nice to be able to follow #scuba and automagically see a bunch of stuff I care about pop up in my home feed.

      The account @[email protected] is full of gems like that.

      Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
