I am stepping back from the #Tusky project with immediate effect.
I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via #OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those to the project's private "Tusky Contributors" Matrix channel the financial admins tone policed the feedback, refused to engage with the concerns I and others raised, and demanded the discussion be stopped.
There is too much detail for a thread, so please read https://write.as/nikclayton/stepping-back-from-the-tusky-project.
On mobile Tusky is basically the gold standard for Mastodon clients. There are some other clients, but I didn’t fine one as good as Tusky. I guess I’ll switch to the Elk PWA since I already use Elk on desktop - but this depends on an official Reply from Tusky regarding the blog post.
Ah ok yea I haven’t used it in a while, partially because I barely used Mastodon (never used twitter). I’ve been using the official Mastodon app when I needed to.
I heard they updated it recently (so if you haven’t tried it in a bit you could), but again I’m going off the experience of other people. I didn’t use it enough to get a feel from it.
Sad to see such a good project die.
There are a few other good options, I guess the good bits of the code can be pulled over?

You clearly haven’t used Megalodon. Better UX all around.

I’ll look more into it :)
It’s alpha software but works very well. I did not encounter any issues.
The official Mastodon app to me feels clumsy and outdated. Not a good experience at all for me. I can’t pinpoint it, though. Just my personal opinion.
Ah ok I see

Also check out moshidon. Been using it since I joined Mastodon recently and am liking it.
Elk is great on desktop and especially to write an answer.
Jep. I completely switched to Elk since my comment. Not the PWA, though.
Husky is a fork of Tusky. Probably better than just adding Tusky features to existing clients.
