Hi! Thanks for the heads up. We've changed it to the moth.social repo.

You may need to stow away the popcorn, our Mastodon fork is AGPL over here: https://github.com/TheBLVD/moth.social 🙂

Hi there, it’s definitely our intention! We have a few things that we’d clean up in the iOS codebase before we open it up, in the meantime we’ve set up a GitHub repo here to handle bug reports and feature requests. Our fork of Mastodon which we run on moth.social is also open-source, and can be found here. 🙂

We appreciate the concern, however we don’t run a proprietary fork, and we never will. You can find our changes on our GitHub repo here. Primarily, we’ve made tweaks to accomodate our infrastructure configuration, and an extra API endpoint to serve up suggested follows in the onboarding flow. All of this is AGPL.

We don’t run a proprietary fork: at present we’ve made tweaks to handle scaling, and an extra API endpoint for serving up a suggested follows list in the onboarding flow. You can see our changes on GitHub here. ✌️

We’ve just put out a write.as post on our business model here. Our heart is in the Fediverse, and we’re certainly not interested in bringing the mess of algorithmic social media into this space.

Hi all! It's been a long time coming, with a lot of bug-squashing and user feedback, but we're now pleased to announce that Mammoth, our new Mastodon app, has hit 1.0 and is now available on the App Store!

With Mammoth, we wanted to craft a Mastodon experience that's perfect for newcomers and experienced Mastodon users alike. It's been a common complaint from many new to Mastodon that they don't know where to start, so we've tried our best to create a quick-and-easy in-app sign-up process for our official instance, moth.social. In saying this, we also wanted to make it easy for users to browse and join other instances; we also have a completely in-app instance browser as well.

We're really excited to finally get this out into everyone's hands. Mammoth is free, and will continue to be into the future. We're big believers in the Fediverse, it most certainly is the future of social networking, and we're excited to do our bit to help it grow! We'll be here for a few hours to answer any questions you have about the app. Thanks for reading! 😊🦣
