So many people are having a bad first experience with Mastodon because they're using the official app which is lacking features, doesn't allow image uploads randomly, has random slowness, and doesn't give you easy access to the two most active feeds where you can find people (Local and Federated).
Please switch to Metatext, Tusky, or Tooot for a better mobile experience (or even use a browser).
Out of the >15k users that joined this week, over 11k are on the official apps.
A recent post cited how much in the way of donations an instance received. Perhaps we need some sort of fund raiser to produce apps, and if they are all free or open source software, sync the features, so they are all working properly and to a specfic standard.
It doesn't matter if we have 10 apps, all with the same features, but with different UI's it gives people choice of UI without having to choose between feature x and feature y across different apps.
