Since switching over to the Fedi-side, I have looked at a lot of Mastodon/Fediverse clients …

Outside of the ones I’ve just looked at or used just for a little while, there are a few that I’ve dallied with quite extensively.

First, there’s the Mastonaut fork that I’ve been working on — written in #Swift for #macOS only:
https://github.com/FahimF/Mastonaut

Then, there’s the private fork of IcueCubesApp that I was working on because that app does not work with Akkoma at the moment — this one was #Swift and #SwiftUI but worked on both #iOS and #macOS:
https://github.com/Dimillian/IceCubesApp

Then there was the pure #JavaScript one I started from scratch because I wanted something which would work on any platform.

I stopped working on the JavaScript client because I wanted something that worked now and was too impatient to get my own client working 😛

The IceCubes clone had too many #SwiftUI issues for my taste and so I went back to Mastonaut for the time being. Trouble is, my wife uses iOS for most of her Fediverse traversal and so that leaves her out of things …

I was hoping to get Mastonaut working to my taste so that I have something I can use now and then go back to the JavaScript client so that I have an option which works anywhere. And I thought I was on my way there …

But today I discover that Mastonaut will not reblog when connected to Akkoma. And based on the bug report below, it looks as if this is an Akkoma/Pleroma issue since the error I get is the exact same one:
https://github.com/TwidereProject/Twidere-Android/issues/1460

I’d really like to have one client which works on every platform, has all the features that make life easy for me, and works with all the different Fediverse servers. Is that too much to ask for? 😛

@f Have you tried @elk

@newmanth Yep 🙂 Well, briefly … I couldn’t get it to run locally and there didn’t seem to be that much in the way of docs. Went to the Discord server hoping that the issues I was running into were standard ones and others would have hit them too but nothing on the Discord about those specific issues. So gave up at that point since I was already working with a few other apps 🙂

But will probably go back at some point to see if it would work better the next time around …

@elk

@f @elk I'm using it on my #android devices and a #chromebook as a pwa and really like it. Haven't tried it on #MacOS or #ios
