The Mastodon Client Mona is my current favorite way to browse and post on Mastodon.

I really enjoy easily switching between my accounts too. I have an account to post images with hashtags such as #SilentSunday #Wisconsin #Arena #BirdsOfMastodon #BloomScrolling #DogsOfMastodon #CatsOfMastodon. There is also an account for technical items with hashtags such as #StarWars #Andor #VisionPro #WWDC25 #Apple

The ability to mute a hashtag, or person, for an hour or day or forever is useful. Sometimes there is just a large amount of activity, such as group movie watching and a mute for a few hours is plenty, other times there is an obsession, best avoided with a much longer, or permanent mute.

Bookmarks are useful, when a post catches your eye, but there isn't time to read it immediately.  They are also useful to hang onto a reference you want to share or talk about.

Search is useful, either for a hashtag, or a specific user.

Posts are made easy in Mona. uploading images and adding alt tags works easily.
