About this app

Megalodon 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

- 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.
- Custom timelines: Pin any list or hashtag to your Megalodon’s home tab to simply swipe between your favorite topics and people!
- Drafts and scheduled posts: Allows for preparing a post and scheduling it to send it automatically at a specific time.
- 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.
- Language selector: Painlessly select the language for every post you make so filters and translation are working correctly.
- Translation: Easily translate posts right inside Megalodon! Only works if the feature is also available on your Mastodon Web.
- Post visibility indicator: When opening or replying to a post, a handy icon indicating the post’s visibility will be displayed.
- Color themes: Should you not like the default Pink color them (the shark is silently judging you), Moshidon’s color themes got you covered.

Ratings and reviews

Probably the best feeling mastodon client. Very configurable. Still leaves some things to be desired though. 1. I'd really like to have a toggle to hide the hashtags, posts, news, and for you tabs in the search section entirely. I have a lot of topics in news that give me anxiety and I'd rather see a blank screen there when I need to search. 2. A smaller more compact post display especially for posts with images would be a nice option, they take up a ton of space.
