Ratings and reviews

I've been a regular user of Tusky since 2019 and have had very few issues... Until recently. I can no longer upload media when posting to my instance, and only with Tusky - other apps and web are fine. A friend of mine is having the same issue. Unfortunately given that the developers are overloaded I've never gotten any responses to emails and I don't use GitHub nor federate with .social, so I guess I've just gotta either deal with it or switch apps.

It's pretty good, but it's lacking opening supported links (where instead of opening a link in the browser, it opens inside the app). Would be nice if the app could cover at least the most popular instances for link handling.

Excellent solution for mobile use of Mastodon Supports list and multiple accounts. Has been reliable. However, latest update v.24 seems to hang when switching back from notifications to home. Also it would great to hide the instance and world timeline icons and put something else, e.g. own posts and favourites there.
