Clients for Mastodon & Pleroma

2026-01-13

Mastodon is a micro-blogging service with similar features like Twitter. But unlike Twitter, it is open-source and federated. Another intro can be found in the article Meet Mastodon or, here at IzzyOnDroid in Mastodon: friendly Microblogging; also see Privacy on Mastodon.

Pleroma is kind of a „light-weight Mastodon“ (an elephant? ). Apps working for one often also work for the other.
