@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls never heard about it, and visiting the site does not tell me what it even is. So: no idea what it even is I assume it's a fedi client, but that's completely based on your post

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls Stopped using it when quote boosts come out on the official app but aren't here.

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls It's the way I interact with #Mastodon and I do this from multiple devices daily!

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls I would like popular UI innovations in Elk to be folded into Mastodon proper (the web client should be default awesome) and would be happy to help fund this

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls what's the discussion about? I really really like it better than any other web client. I've tried to use phanpy but couldn't get used to it

@ayo@social.ayco.io I’ve used it but I primary use my phone to browse mastodon. Which ive been lazy with using a browser. Any chance you’d do an dedicated IOS app I’d download in an instant !

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls it's still my main way to interact on web (or rather, my softfork crab is https://github.com/maybeanerd/crab ) But, I use mastodon on mobile 95% of the time. And there I use @moshidon@floss.social

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls I use exclusively Elk with the Astro account, but basic Mastodon web (or 3rd party Android apps) with my personal account. I like the extra confidence of knowing when I'm logged into which account so I don't inadvertently post from Astro by mistake. 😂

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls Seems that it does not support emoji reactions, so I won't try it. Maybe in future releases?

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls Never heard of it, sorry

@TodePond@mas.to 2026-03-21 22:26
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls use it on desktop. use the default client on mobile (elk is too sluggish and annoying on my phone)

@gverdun@mamot.fr 2026-03-21 22:27
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls I use it everyday on my self-hosted version on Yunohost. Working great!

@sherold@mastodon.online 2026-03-21 22:29
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls It was my main client for quite a while, and I still love it, but now I mainly use @phanpy@hachyderm.io.

@darius@social.linux.pizza 2026-03-21 22:32
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls Just set up a self-hosted instance and I'm loving it so far! It'll probably be my primary client, at least on web (I'm happy with the official Mastodon app on mobile).
-
@sheepnik@toot.wales 2026-03-21 22:33
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls I've used it daily on my laptop since early 2023 (I use something else for mobile access.) I've not found another web app / interface that works as well for me.

@WolvericCatkin@tech.lgbt 2026-03-21 22:37
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls My first instance had a subdomain that served it as an alternate interface, and I tried it a couple of times, but I had some issues with some of it's design choices and how my browser handled PWAs... pretty much forgot about it entirely tbh, especially since switching instance... :neocat_laugh_sweat:

@64bithero@mstdn.games 2026-03-21 22:37
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls Ok I just figured out how to add the pwa. This is my go-to for now on! So happy 😃

@golemwire@fosstodon.org 2026-03-21 22:42
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls The reason why I have never felt any reason at all to use Elk: my Mastodon server already has a web interface, so what's the point of the extra layer of complexity? Now -- I'm not saying there's no benefit; I'm sure there is. But addressing this concern would be central to a pitch for Elk, no? I've heard Elk promoted before but never have heard this concern addressed.

@MatthiasPortzel@social.vivaldi.net 2026-03-21 22:48
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls Using main.elk.zone for Quote support. An absolute must at this point.

@mukto_manob@mastodon.social 2026-03-21 22:54
@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls I didn't hear about it until now, going to head over to it soon (to check it out)!

@ayo@social.ayco.io @elk@m.webtoo.ls I love Elk, it’s my main Mastodon client on desktop and iOS (installed on Home Screen as a PWA). I use it daily. It’s so much easier on the eyes, more readable, than the default client, any of the iOS apps I’ve tried, or Phanpy. Edit to add: I don’t mean to throw shade at the other clients, I am thrilled there is a rich ecosystem of Mastodon clients for people to choose what works best for them.
