Hope this also feeds the growth of Mastodon as well. We need good FOSS alternatives to these corporate controlled social networks.
I might try Mastodon now that I found and fell in love with Lemmy, are there any good clients for Android?
Personally I like Tusky.
I had been using Megalodon for awhile (a fork of the official client with lots of enhancements & fixes)
Recently I've switched over to Trunks. It's really a great app, especially for how new it is.
@kratoz29 @frozengriever I'm using Tusky
I'm feeling out of place because I'm the only one running Trunks. It's pretty much doing what I need but I'm a pretty simple drunk.
I really like Fedilab. It's free on FDroid!
Tusky is a neat Apps for Mastodon. Good for the those who want to start. There also many more like Fedilab, Moshidon, Trunks, Megalodon etc.
For me though, I use Subway Tooter, this is an advance apps so the UI is rather intimidating.

It's funny to read this from Mastodon. Activity Pub / The Fediverse is weird.
I'm actually just using my browser (Brave) and it's been a fine experience so far.
I’m on iOS so I can’t say 100% but ivory is really well designed, I’m pretty sure that’s what the Apollo dev said he likes to use so I tried it and it’s good. Personally I’ve been using elk as a web app and it’s been my favourite so far. I don’t think there’s an app for it at the moment, just a web app, but I could be wrong
Fedilab. It costs $2.99 to buy it, but it's the best and most feature complete right now. Elk is a good client, but it's web-based (and can be installed as a web app on mobile). But it still has a lot of soul searching to see if it's trying to be the "Twitter client" of mastadon or not.
I use them both occasionally, and fedilab is my primary mastodon client right now for lots of reasons.
Or you get it for free from f-droid. I encourage you to support the great developer tho.
