       I found some time to dig into iPhone apps for Spinster. I used Tootle for ages, but about the time of the Soapbox update it began acting very flaky, and now it crashes back to the home screen every time I tap Notifications. Tried deleting and reloading it, it now can’t connect to Spinster at all. I tried Tootoise, and it connected, but dropped a “Request Failed” warning the first time I asked for Notifications. Now it just shows the empty page. Must be something incompatible with conventional Mastodon. Fedi explicitly supports Pleroma, and grabs notifications properly - but it only shows the person involved, not the content. Settings does show full notification choices with background refresh. And it does have DMs, chat, and emoji, but no dark mode even in iOS 13 - way too much open white space for me! Mercury finds the Notifications and shows the full text - usually…  There is a big “Done” at the top that takes you out to a confusing authorization page, and sometimes “Back to Spinster” doesn’t work. Much of the interface is very familiar, in fact I suspect they are just showing Safari’s view of the Spinster web site. No push notification setup…  Unless someone has other suggestions, it looks like the new Spinster web site is the best iPhone interface. Except I’m not getting push notifications…  @mk

       @LorenAmelang Thanks for doing this research!! Personally I think the mobile website is the best solution for everything except the push notifications :S
