Mastodon 3.5
> there are tools that allow people to subscribe to an activitypub feed of your private blog
Those aren't relevant here. You're saying, essentially, "static sites/blogs, squeezed through a Mastodon-/ActivityPub-shaped hole". I'm saying, "Mastodon profiles, squeezed through the static site/blog hole (in a typical staticgen pipeline)". They have some words in common, but the resemblance ends there, at the superficial level; they are otherwise completely opposite ideas.
> I am certain I saw something like that
Assuming that "that" means the thing that I'm describing: you wouldn't have seen that, because the relevant Mastodon-interoperable parts of ActivityPub as they currently exist are fundamentally at odds with the ability to do this, for reasons mentioned in part by Gargron upthread.
The WebFinger thing is a big part of it. Mastodon's not alone here; there are other WebFinger-dependent protocols (like remoteStorage) that also suffer. This is covered in <https://github.com/konklone/jekyll-webfinger/tree/9bcb46bbab...>. (Mastodon has taken off in a way that we could probably say it has reached critical mass, even if it's still not as mainstream as Twitter, but remoteStorage not so much.) This is a design flaw at the protocol level, and my contention is that it impacts further adoption more than people realize. There's no good reason, for example, why when I encounter a remoteStorage-compatible app where I only ever intend to grant it read-only access, I shouldn't be able to give it the URL for a dataset hosted on a static site. Presently, however, you cannot—unless the application author deliberately implements some workaround. But they shouldn't need to.

Does anyone know how to change the theme back to the normal dark mode instead of true contrast? I updated the iOS app and it changed it to dark contrast and I am unable to change it back for some reason
Looks like it got removed

Clojure Community on Fediverse
The official app is pretty good and cross-platform. I use Tusky on Android, and really like it. A couple of other tech instances are

What happens to all of the descriptive text on photos (aka ALT text)? Why can't it be viewed?
If the goal is to improve the Mastodon app to make it a better experience for all users, I'd suggest submitting an issue on the app's github page to make them aware of the issue. In my experience, opensource communities are very eager to solve problems.
- Just an Idea.

Mastodon 3.5
This was a minor hullabaloo back when the app launched.

Fedilab client - AWESOME!
I find that there are lots of Mastodon clients but whole lot of them are in the development phase, or some other apps are similar to each other. I'm reading some exchange between Eugen Rochko (founder of the Mastodon) and some user, talking about development of Mastodon. Eugen has pretty peculiar views about Mastodon and Fediverse development (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-ios/issues/221) and I really don't agree with him at all. There were also some open letters calling for resignation of Eugen from Mastodon development (https://seedy.xyz/posts/0005-open-letter/) .
