Moshidon (Mastodon app)

4 of 5 Stars

Moshidon is a modified version of the Mastodon app for Android phones that adds a bit more functionality. Some that was just left out of the official app, like the local and federated timelines. Some that vanilla Mastodon doesn't support, like writing formatted posts or local-only posts. And a lot of quality-of-life features like filling in missing parts of remote profiles, making bookmarks easier to get to, switching a specific post view between accounts, etc. Otherwise it's pretty similar to using the official app.

local-only posts

The only thing that keeps tripping me up is the tap-to-cycle on the "Home" button. It's a quick way to cycle through lists, and you can remove the local/federated timelines (per account!) and just switch between your custom lists, but after using the app for a few weeks it's still not the way my brain expects it to work. I much prefer the way Tusky lets you choose the toolbar buttons instead.

Overall, it's more capable than the Mastodon app, but not quite on the level of Tusky/Husky/Pachli or Fedilab.
