The EU has joined Mastodon

Oh that’s neat. I’ll investigate how to help seed that (for lack of better word)

Main reason I haven’t done so yet is copyright concerns but this content is presumably safe in that regard

if the cookies serve a technical purpose (and not a PII-tracking purpose), they don't have to ask.

For mobile or desktop? On mobile, Mastodon recently released their official client, and as far as I know it's not web-based.

On Linux / GNOME, the Tootle app is quite nice: https://github.com/bleakgrey/tootle. It’s available on Flathub.

Looks like it could use some more contributions with commit access, but it works well as it is!

Edit: But to be fair to the backlog of pull requests, the developer is not located in the most pleasant of countries at the moment, so be patient with them :)

Brutaldon perhaps might interest you? https://brutaldon.org/about

I know that you asked for suggestions on a *mastodon* client specifically...but in case you did not know...technically you can interact with fediverse instances and networks - including, yes, mastodon instances - with other ActivityPub clients too...Just sayin'...in which case feel free to filter for any of a bunch of them here: https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/
