Sorry for the wait, but Ivory v2.4 is finally available on the App Store! Features support for the official quote posts (assuming your server is running Mastodon 4.5 or later) and we've made big improvements to fetching replies and post metadata in the post detail views.

Official quote posts are in the latest beta version of Ivory on Testflight for Mac and iOS. We've also made some improvements to fetching more post data which includes like/boost counts and replies. When going to a post detail, you'll see a loading bar in the top right corner which shows that Ivory is attempting to load more data if available. If you are currently helping us test Ivory, we'd love for you to give it all a try. Thank you!

Say Hello to Ivory. We are now available to all on Apple’s App Store! We have launched as “Early Access” because we still have a lot of exciting plans ahead of that will make Ivory even better. Go download it, try it free for 7 days, and experience it for yourself!

Hello people of the Fediverse! Some of you may have heard that a new Mastodon client, Ivory, is in development for iOS (and Mac!). This is true! Tapbots is going all in on Mastodon and we hope this place continues to grow and thrive. Tweetbot will continue to be developed alongside Ivory as a lot of code is shared. A new Mac version of Tweetbot and Ivory are also currently in development and we are working hard on getting those towards a public beta state.

Ivory v1.8.4 is now available on the app store. Here's the link to download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ivory-for-mastodon-by-tapbots/id6444602274

Have you been receiving a bunch of spam? This is an emergency release with a custom filter added to the Filters tab (scroll to the bottom of that tab) to mute spam mentions. Turn this filter on and it should catch most of them. This will not stop spam push notifications.

We are still finishing up the big Quote Posts update so appreciate your patience on that one! 🙏

Important: TestFlight does NOT use your App Store subscription. It is completely sandboxed and you have to subscribe separately. It is a test environment and you don't get charged when you subscribe.

@cat@social.lol We had built most of a completely new version at one point. Opened up to a public beta, but the response was pretty low so we ended up scrapping the project. It would have been a cool app, but we couldn't justify investing more time and energy on something not enough people cared about anymore.

@jacobsa It's a bug that has been fixed and submitted to Apple already. Just waiting for approval. It's related to the new "gestures" options in the settings.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online When you say it is attached to a different thread, do you mean from a different post completely? Within a main post thread, Ivory doesn't actually do proper threading like on the website. It's something on our list to redo.

Replying to

@iRodknocker@mastodon.social So that's the reason why it's doing this. Since you hid the posts it's trying to sync with, it goes to the next visible post closest to it. Every time you flip back and forth it's just going to the next older post it can match with. If that bothers you, I suggest not hiding mentions in the “ALL" section.

@supergarv@phpc.social That also create a whole bunch of issues which we don't really want to deal with. It's possible we might enable it someday, but there's a reason why most social media apps don't let you scroll content in landscape mode.
