You can also browse the Local server you joined or branch out to a broader and more chaotic Federated feed, all with the same smooth-scrolling action as Tweetbot because (as Haddad confirmed) it’s literally the same scroll-handling function. The most prominent view Ivory offers is a simple timeline from the accounts you’ve specifically followed. Ivory doesn’t let you muck too much with Mastodon’s decentralized nuances, for example you can’t use it to explore servers you haven’t joined or browse the social graphs of interesting people in other communities. Focusing on a classic Twitter flavor does require some sacrifices at this early stage. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it back then, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it now, and if we can provide that experience, I’m more than happy to do it,” he said. “A simple social network where people post and reply to each other. Haddad keyed in on how Twitter used to feel, especially in its earlier pre-algorithmic feed days. This wasn’t just a comment on regime change. Installing Ivory for the first time, I felt some hope that a little familiarity might go a long way. On Mastodon, every server has its own culture, and you can only join one server per account, so there’s a bit of a sense that everyone’s playing to a slightly different room. Part of Twitter’s double helix of horror and intrigue was that everyone swam in the same pool - you and your weird pals and Russian disinfo forces and Shaq. A tool like Fedifinder or Debirdify will yield a tidy data payload you can use to bulk-follow individuals where they’ve landed, but they might also be spread across two dozen servers. ![]() The experience of joining Mastodon really depends on which server you start out on - the particular people you associate with Twitter have already dispersed, if they’re here yet at all. With a grim but dignified paragraph break, Tapbots announced a new focus for the company: Ivory, a fledgling Mastodon client built on all it had learned from creating Tweetbot as well as much of its code.Īs a longtime Mastodon account holder who nonetheless still feels like a rookie on the platform, I’m happy to see Tapbots taking its talents to the Fediverse’s loosely joined scatterplot of social islands. (“ One of the very best apps I’ve ever used,” eulogized Apple ultra-blogger John Gruber.) Like many other Twitter members disappointed by the company’s mercurial policymaking and ego-driven roadmap, Tapbots surveyed the wreckage and chose to migrate. Ten or so days after the app had its plug pulled, the team issued a stout elegy for their creation, without flinching from saying that they’d “invested over 10 years building Tweetbot for Twitter and it was shut down in a blink of an eye.” Tapbots’ tribute joined sentiments from its heartbroken superusers, who’d happily paid a few bucks per year for access to its artisanal iconography and expertly rounded corners. Haddad’s three-person company, Tapbots, handled all of this as gracefully as one could expect anyone to handle a straightforward attack on their livelihood.
