What are the best, open-source and still active mobile Mastodon apps these days? Both on iOS and Android. #mastodon #openSource

I've been neglecting my Immich server recently. Time to get the updates rolling...

RE: @ilyess@mastodon.online

This was a good move!

Starting a blog was one of my best decisions this decade.

@pygospa Hello, fellow blogger. Does your blog have an RSS feed? Asking for my RSS reader.

Gotta add this to my blog.

@voxel It’s mind-boggling that some people still think Telegram is private. Great video BTW. Thanks for sharing.

@defrisselle@mastodon.sdf.org @prachisrivas@masto.ai @renchap@oisaur.com hopefully it’s opt-in, just like full text search.

@atomicpoet When you like, it’s for OP. When you bookmark, it’s for yourself.

@cjenkins@toot.wales There should be a section for 2FA in the settings. It's under Preferences > Account on v4 of Mastodon. I see that your instance is still on v3.5.3 so the wording might be slightly different.

@trisweb@mastodon.social I’d go with mastodon.trisweb.com to be more specific and to leave the door open in case you wanna host other social services in the future. You never know.

@alternative_be@todon.nl @Gargron@mastodon.social @felipeorleans@mastodon.social @PelayoNastaviek@mastodon.social I don’t think that’s a good idea. You can read more about this design decision here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/

Replying to @xinit@mastodon.online

@xinit@mastodon.online Security and convenience rarely go together and most users have the tendency to favor the latter. Pair this with their reluctance to trying new software, like a password manager, and you end up with “monkey123” being subconsciously entered into any password field encountered online. I used to be guilty of this in a previous life myself. It’s never too late to start inching towards the “security” end of the spectrum.

Replying to @CarbonWriter@mastodon.online

@CarbonWriter@mastodon.online That’s the way to go 👍 #bitwarden is a better option in my opinion, but 1password is definitely better than no password manager.

ilyess @ilyess@mastodon.online · Apr 27, 2022

A message to our new friends:

1. Don’t use your Twitter password for your #mastodon account. Reusing passwords is always a bad idea. A password manager is your friend here.

2. Set up your 2FA. You can do this from the browser or from within the official mobile app under Settings > Account Settings.

@Mastodon I wish more instances offered this. Do you know if there's a list of #mastodon instances that have an .onion address?
