About this app

Moshidon is a modified version of the official Mastodon Android app adding important features that are missing in the official app, such as the federated timeline, unlisted posting and an image description viewer.

Key features

- Many colors: Brings material you theme and many colorful options for themes!
- Filtered posts!: The ability to have filtered posts show with a warning!
- Translate button: Brings a translate button!
- Toot language picker: Brings in a toot language picker!
- Unlisted posting: Post publicly without having your post show up in trends, hashtags or public timelines.
- Federated timeline: See all public posts from people on all other Fediverse neighborhoods your home instance is connected to.
- Image description viewer: Quickly check whether an image or video has an alt text attached to it.
- Pinning posts: Pin your most important posts to your profile and see what others have pinned using the “Pinned“ tab.
- Follow hashtags: See new posts from specific hashtags directly in your home timeline by following them.
- Answering follow requests: Accept or decline follow requests from your notifications or the dedicated Follow requests list.
- Delete and re-draft: The much-loved feature that made editing possible without an actual editing function.
- Extras: Brings many extra UI features, such as interaction icons on the Notifications and removing many annoyances with the original UI!

Ratings and reviews

The app is, honestly, perfect. Just one personal thing I wish I could do is put the Language button, while writing a post, on the bottom, because I post a lot in two different languages and that would make it more comfortable to use (even the toot privacy button should be at the bottom). But since this is a very personal use case I still think it's a 5 star app nonetheless, hopefully this options will be added in the future.

Amazing Mastodon client. However, the setting to fetch information from remote instances doesn't seem to work. I am on a smaller instance and every single post from remote ones seems to show up with zero favourites and zero boosts even though I can view the remote instance in the browser and see that that isn't true.

Recent weeks, the app has been throwing "Too many requests" errors randomly, sometimes immediately after I open the app (i.e., before I start engaging with the content). It's a shame, otherwise this has been the best app for Mastodon. UPDATE: new version notes say "Fixed many crashes from" ... from what?
