A POWERFUL PUBLISHING PLATFORM
You no longer have to try and appease an opaque algorithm that decides if your friends are going to see what you posted. If they follow you, they’ll see it.
If you publish it to the open web, it’s accessible on the open web. You can safely share links to Mastodon in the knowledge that anyone will be able to read them without logging in.
Between threads, polls, high quality images, videos, audio, and content warnings, Mastodon offers plenty of ways to express yourself in a way that suits you.
A POWERFUL READING PLATFORM
We don’t need to show you ads, so we don’t need to keep you in our app. Mastodon has the richest selection of 3rd party apps and integrations so you can choose the experience that fits you best.
Thanks to the chronological home feed, it’s easy to tell when you’ve caught up on all updates and can move on to something else.
No need to worry that a misclick will ruin your recommendations forever. We don’t guess what you want to see, we let you control it.
PROTOCOLS, NOT PLATFORMS
Mastodon is not like a traditional social media platform, but is built on a decentralized protocol. You can sign up on our official server, or choose a 3rd party to host your data and moderate your experience.
Thanks to the common protocol, no matter what you choose, you can communicate seamlessly with people on other Mastodon servers. But there’s more: With just one account, you can communicate with people from other fediverse platforms.
Not happy with your choice? You can always switch to a different Mastodon server while taking your followers with you. For advanced users, you can even host your data on your own infrastructure, since Mastodon is open-source.
NON-PROFIT IN NATURE
Mastodon is a registered non-profit in the US and Germany. We are not motivated by extracting monetary value from the platform, but by what’s best for the platform.
AS FEATURED IN: TIME, Forbes, Wired, The Guardian, CNN, The Verge, TechCrunch, Financial Times, Gizmodo, PCMAG.com, and more.
Recent changes: - Added support for displaying Collections if your server supports it - Reworked push notifications under the hood. It should not change anything for you, but it's now more modern

Mastodon is everything social media should be. The app is fast, intuitive, and gives me full control over my feed without ads or algorithms getting in the way. Communities feel genuine, conversations are respectful, and the decentralized approach makes the whole experience refreshing. Smooth performance, great privacy features, and a platform built on real values. A solid 5‑star app.

A good open source federated microblogging platform👌. Lots of things are missing from mobile web client. Need to go to browser for many things like login, account settings. Unlisted post option is not available. Feature suggestions: Collapse long text, Show media only option.

Mastodon is a great platform and this is a very good app to access it. Because there are no ads on Mastodon, there's no data tracking and no manipulative algorithm encouraging angry content, disinformation, or trolls. You see only what you enjoy-- you only see posts from people you follow or who follow you, and people they follow. This creates a very positive platform with friendly content. Because there are no ads to bury your content, more people see and share your posts here.

Not the social media future or antidote promised. Yes, the chronological feed, curated by the user, plus the kindness policies create a much more sane, healthy social experience. Unfortunately, the moderation is volunteer, unprepared, intrusive, erroneous, and Draconian. The split-second moderation decisions from untrained, unaccountable volunteers at Mastodon. Social and likely other servers, makes this platform even more unreliable ground than the corporate social platforms we know.

A very boring app. It feels like very few people use it in the world and there's not much content in there...
★☆☆☆☆Chenghen Yang· Jul 13, 2026
Goddamn Mastodon social moderators discriminating against nonnative German speakers practicing German on Mastodon and treating the multitude of revenge AI reports on a member for reporting on another adult porn post by server banning. They said nonnative speakers using AI to assist in writing are bots and should be banned. Such an overweening server.
