    A nimble Mastodon web client

    • Quick! Tell Obama and Taylor Swift about https://elk.zone! They're going to be so excited!

  • Mastodon

    Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community

    • Give people a good interface that hides complicated things like federation, is very low barrier and looks nice.

    As similar example consider lemmy. Here https://wefwef.app/ is a much, much better starting point for new users than the official page. Immediately shows you stuff, nice interface, no "what do I even click" problem.

    Contrast that with https://joinmastodon.org/
