No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Ivory is very polished but the subscription is really expensive considering the alternatives.
Agreed, it’s definitely on the pricier side. But in my opinion it’s also the most refined one, the app works great and the UI is really good. If you appreciate well-crafted and -designed apps, it’s worth it. If those things don’t matter as much (or if you simply prefer to have more options/customizability), it might not be for you.
I really like Toot! I tried a whole bunch and this is the one I settled on.
Same for me.
Yep Ice Cubes is great, you can have loads of timelines on there if you want. Mastoot is also great, really nice to use and easy on the eye.
Mastoot is about as simple as the official mastodon app. If you don’t want to do anything complicated, you can’t go wrong with either of these. However, if you’re like me, and you don’t care about people, but you care about topics, these apps are going to be useless to you. Following particular hashtags just doesn’t work with these.
Not sure about official Mastodon app, but I am following loads of hashtags on Mastoot.
Mastoot never managed to load any of my hashtags. Seems like a broken feature.
So far I’ve been using Mammoth and Metatext. I like them both but Metatext is edging out at the moment.
Pros of Mammoth: *Plenty of customization options *Nice interface *Translation features
Cons of Mammoth: *A little clunky *Some trouble uploading pictures *Custom emoji/emojos don’t show up (on my phone at least)
Pros of Metatext: *A bit smoother *Nice interface *Custom emoji appear
Cons of Metatext: *No translation options (that I’ve seen) *Some errors when starring posts
Both are pretty decent apps, but once I get around to updating my iOS I will probably try a couple others on for size.
These are really good insights! Thank you
I am new to Mastodon but have enjoyed Mona the most so far
I think it may also be worth noting the “in app purchases” seem to be actual purchases not subscriptions
Cheers
I’m not on Mastodon a lot, but when I go I like to use Phanpy.social as a PWA. Feels a smooth as a native app and looks great.
I use the default Mastadon app, it works fine enough.
