There's a few third-party apps, with Pixeldroid being the most popular, and their official app is in beta.
I think it was chosen when Firefox mobile didn't have https everywhere for the app yet. The maintainers of the list also take a while to review and update it.
Either way. This would be a win-win for the Fediverse. Allows new people to hear about it and validates Mastadon as an alternative to Twitter and Threads.
It sounds like both Partey and Tierney may stay now. Especially with Timber coming in now, Tierney could get more starts.
Appreciate the transparency. The admin team here is really going above and beyond.

Oh yeah. Maybe in the next update, seems pretty risky right now to turn on 2FA.
I had to do it in the mobile browser. In settings when you turn on 2FA, a button appears above the checkbox. I tapped it in my mobile browser and it opened my authenticator app.
Private communication apps only work if they have people you want to talk to and Signal is the only one I could get my family to use.
