We’ve been asked, countless times: “Are you folks working on a Mastodon app?”The answer isn’t a simple one.https://blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/mastodonerrific/

@Iconfactory #Mastodon is great but there are a plethora of other services out there.

@darnell I might be wrong but I think what @Iconfactory meant is that an app, as in a phone/computer program, that is capable of running multiple platforms rather than just mastodon. Like, an app built to use mastodon, misskey and other services all in one place.

@raccoon @Iconfactory There is an app called #SocialHub which is able to connect to #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Pixelfed & #Pleroma.SocialHub can also connect to #Twitter, #Tumblr & #Slack as well.👉🏾 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/socialhub-socialmedia-client/id1474451582However by being accessible to these distinct social networks, it ends up sacrificing the potential in all of them, which is why I suggest specific, specialized apps instead.

@darnell @Iconfactory What's the benefit of using a dedicated app for a service over using the original website of the instance one person is registered to?I personally tend to use my browser for everything I can because the more apps I install, the more exploitable things I have on my device, or so I imagine. I play around with some at times but always end up uninstalling them after a few days.

@raccoon@stereophonic.space @darnell@one.darnell.one @Iconfactory@iconfactory.world Apps are very useful if you operate in an area with sporadic signal or if the signal cuts off while uploading media. From my experience the browser crashes, resulting in data loss (pictures, videos, audio, word documents, etcetera). The app simply waits until signal is restored (sometimes minutes or hours later depending on your location) & sends the info again when it connects. Very useful.That’s why most people usually demand an app instead of just relying on the browser. Sites without an app will gain little attention from the public.

@yatil Das finde ich spannend, dass sie nicht auf #Mastodon sondern auf #ActivityPub. Da bin ich gespannt.

Ich weiß nicht von vielen C2S-Umsetzungen von AP. Mal schauen.

@heluecht @yatil Dann lassen wir uns überraschen. Ob denen etwas spezielles einfällt.

Von den Server-Systemen her gibt es IMHO nur Pleroma, die C2S überhaupt können. Was natürlich sein könnte, ist dass sie ein Gesamtpaket anbieten, d.h. den mobilen Client und einen eigenen Server.

C2S steht für "Client To Server". Das ist eine der beiden Modi von ActivityPub. AP wird im Moment in der Regel als "Server To Server" eingesetzt, d.h. für die Kommunikation der Server im Fediverse. Es gibt aber auch den "Client To Server"-Modus von AP. Der ist für die Kommunikation zwischen Endgeräten und Servern gedacht. Im Moment setzt Mastodon dafür eine eigene API ein. Und die meisten anderen Systeme im Fediverse setzen Abwandlungen davon ein.

@Iconfactory You mentioned you like to be first/early (you "got" the #birdsite and were out in front often) - can you a elaborate a little more on what about the #fediverse made it more challenging to be early?

@nontechietalk It’s really just that we do not have time right now to work on such an app with our resources devoted to Frenzic and other apps like Linea.
