App Profile: Tooot - fediverse and Mastodon

I’ve switched over to Tooot because Metatext has stopped updating. The one thing I miss is separating out mentions from general notifications — can you have two tabs like Metatext for that function? I do like the ability to see what hashtags I am following. And the transparency count on posts for boosts and favorites and comments reminds me of Twitter, which I like. It’s a clean interface. Is there any way to add a quote toot feature, like the RT feature in Twitter? Lots of people are asking for it. Although I haven’t tested in the app a preview of a link, if the preview (like Twitter) isn’t yet here, would also like it to be added. Thanks! Update — could you add the number of times the hashtag is used, instead of just a graph? (When I’m searching for a hashtag.) See Metatext’s hashtag search.

Thank you for making this app. I want to keep using this app but these are my hangups: 1. The text is dull and dark. On dark modes, I’m putting my screen brightness all the way up and then when I go to a different app, it’s so bright! 2. Please allow different colors for the like/love/favorite button. With boosts being green and likes being red, it’s going to have Christmas colors all year round. 3. Dark mode gray is ok but the app feels a bit masculine. One other color option (blue-violet-gray-ish - similar to Mastodon) here would also be nice. 4. Allow people’s profile pics to be expanded. We like to see who we are engaging with! 5. A softer, subtle notification sound like Mastodon’s would be easier on the ears. This app seems like it keeps up with user preferences (bravo) and I love being able to hide boosts sometimes. I hope I can come back and change my rating to a 5 someday. Thank you!

I’ve been bouncing among Mastodon clients but ultimately settled on this one. The interface is very intuitive and simple. But don’t be fooled, it has full access to ever advanced feature. Easy browsing of your home feed, local and federated feeds, even special trending section. Look and feel is very natural and twitter like. Says it’s designed with Chinese users in mind, but I’m not Chinese and I still love it. Well thought out, well designed. I keep exploring other free clients but this is the consistently the best. I’m sure paid options might be even better but trust me, among fully free offerings, this is the best.
