It is worth mentioning that the Mastodon team now has 2 people dedicated to fixing the iOS app which is extremely promising, but for now please avoid the official apps if possible, at least until you get a better understanding of the platform so you don't make things harder on yourself while you learn.

@KuJoe I can recommend just using the website. I've had no problems at all!

@KuJoe Fair point I'm on day 2 and couldnt work out how to find anyone until I installed Sengi on laptop. Now I'm begining to see so many more possibilities. Will try other apps on phone too.

@KuJoe I learned from your tips! And found out that I can change to the browser from the official app by pushing the three points on the right beside every posting. And suddenly it becomes what I expected when opened in the browser. Quick solution!

@KuJoe The reason these new visitors won't stick is the onboarding is non existent for all the apps. Tusky is a dead end for new users from the first screen for instance.

@KuJoe Any suggestions for third-party apps that can post to Mastodon as well as Twitter? I'm thinking that's a good transition.

@KuJoe thank you for the suggestion. I will try Tooot.

@KuJoe This is explains A LOT of the complaints I’ve seen about Mastadon not being capable of replacing Twitter. I was lucky and knew someone who already used Mastadon, so I started out with Metatext and love it. I thought people were just being overly critical. 😂

@KuJoe just went in to Tooot and, wow, I can see all the things you were talking about, thanks

@KuJoe One thing that happened to me after signing up with the official Mastodon app is that I couldn't log in on the website because it kept saying my credentials were wrong. It also wouldn't send me a password reset to fix my supposedly broken credentials. It took me a couple of days to realize I had to find the web server for mindly.social to log in on my PC. I think this is confusing people, as I've seen people at the other place say they signed up but could never logon or get a pwd reset.

@KuJoe thank you for your advice. I move to Tusky and see the facilities look better there. 👍

@stevemc@mindly.social 2022-11-15 12:50
@KuJoe this should be the top post. I couldn’t find the follow button! Lol

@paulgraves@mindly.social 2022-11-16 21:49
@KuJoe man, is this ever true. Switched to Tusky and the experience is much better

@KuJoe that's literally the answer to the question I haven't quite been able to formulate. Thanks
