Rodent for Mastodon

Aloud

About this app

Rodent is a client for Mastodon that supports most of the common features and adds a bunch of innovations to enhance your Mastodon experience. To highlight some:
- No-FOMO button: a button that keeps track of the number of unread posts and prevents the fear of missing out.
- Home summary: click on no-FOMO button to access this pannel that lists new posts condensed by author or hashtag.
- Access instances without login in (if the instance allows it).
- Keep track of your position in the timelines.
- Support for lists, including edition and creation.
- Support for hashtag lists.
- Media timelines.
- Customise the tabs in the main screen as you like.
- Nested and compact replies.
- Multi-instance view: quick flick between instances.
- Light and dark (OLED) design to choose from.
- Receive push notifications when other users interact with you.
- Write posts with hashtag autocompletion, custom emojis, etc.
- Understand the context of a reply with the embeded parent post.
- Automatic text recognition to help with image descriptions.
- Schedule your posts to be published at a later time.

Ratings and reviews

Is good, but...maybe I'm just lost. But is there a way to interact with or edit one's own profile/page/section? Additionally, it frequently has an error which requires me to "sign in again" before I can reply to any other toot/post. This leads to a weird juggle of me using this app to view posts but using a different one to interact with anyone.

While there are some features I'd still like to see, Rodent is a really good, stable app that allows me to customize tabs and holds my place. The ability to catch up on a per-user account is amazing. This is a great way to customize your reading experience and ensures you never miss posts from people you want to keep up with. I have used another app with more features and customization options, but I find I enjoy using Rodent more. It's certainly worth trying to see if it suits you!

Unavailable on the share dialog from other apps? Strike zones for like and boost buttons are not quite right. I want to be able to add hashtag follows from the app. Needs hashtag suggestions as you type, to know which hashtags are most known. Clicking users sometimes bounces to browser. But it's good progress!
