#Ivory

I have been using #Ivory for iPhone for quite a long time now. But in recent months I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with what seems to be a major bug. If I post or boost, if I touch anywhere on the screen before “my post has fully posted” it goes to the very top of my notifications and then I have to start scrolling down and searching for the place where I was. I have tons of notifications so this is becoming a major hassle where I think I’m going to cancel my subscribe to renew in about 2 weeks. It’s simply not manageable.

Plus I have to be careful because there might be 2, 3 or even four more notifications between the time I click post and the time the confirmation banner appears so I have to be really careful not to click anywhere at all on the screen until it’s the banner for my own post that displays, otherwise I end up all the way at the top again.

Anyone else experiencing that issue or stopped using Ivory as a result. Any recommendations for a better app? I do like Ivory more than other apps I’ve tried but I’m wasting so much time atm scrolling every time I forget to wait long enough that it’s causing me to quit in frustration when I’m trying to catch up on notifications. @ivory

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

A feature I would *love* to see in Ivory (the Mastodon client): the ability to have the client show your personal notes about people inline in your feed, perhaps below their name/handle.

This would be of immense help to my ADHD brain as I’d have pertinent details about individuals right there.

Version Suport Request/Bug
(Recently did a clean factory reset. 15.5)

In Ivory,I'm unable to get the mac to correct typos, using the right click/select contextual menu.

In Apple apps, I can right click, select correct word and click to swap it in.

But in ivory, the correct spelling isn't subsituted.

Check & Correct Spelling are both on, in Edit/Spelling & Grammer

Any thoughts?

#Mac

I use Ivory as my Mastodon app. D upped the character limit on our instance but the change is not showing up on Ivory. Tried reinstall with no effect. Anyone else have this issue? #ivory #mastodon #CharacterLimits

Oh Interesting Seems Like This Might Be An Ivory Bug, Not The Keyboard? Doesn't Seem To Happen In Other Apps.

#ivory

@ivory, removing bookmarks seems to be no longer synched between the iOS and macOS version of #Ivory? When I remove a bookmark on my iPad it's still there a couple of days later on my Mac...

anybody know what the pop-up message “boosts only” means when i open @ivory #ivory

@ivory @tapbots Are there plans for supporting Markdown posts?

Screenshot shows how this Markdown post looks in Ivory:

#ivory #fediverse

Does anyone know why #ivory doesn’t format YouTube links with their corresponding thumbnails and description? Is it related to their YouTube.be link shortening?

A bit maddening.
I have to go into safari and copy the url.

iOS 18.4

Many thanks

@ivory

Let my @ivory subscription expire on March 1. After using other #Mastodon apps, I might have to reconsider. We also got an update after ~5 months w/ more to come while they work on #Phoenix for #Bluesky.

"Once Phoenix is out the door, development will happen concurrently and both apps will get all the huge improvements we have planned throughout the apps. And we still have a huge list of great improvements that need to come to #Ivory (and as a result, also Phoenix)."

@tapbots

The latest iOS #Ivory update says:
"Support for AlphaNumeric Post IDs"

Does this mean full #GoToSocial support? Am I missing something? Is it even related?

(Considering to set up my own instance with having quasi-none knowledge, but the lack of Ivory's support was keeping me from even starting...)

@klackerturm Ach schau mal. Sie setzen also auch auf Bluesky. Jetzt weiß ich auch warum so lange das Update von #Ivory auf sich warten ließ. Kann Sie ja auch verstehen. Von Luft und Liebe kann man nicht leben. Bin dann mal gespannt was die App für Bluesky kosten wird.

Ich dachte, langsamer kann man #Ivory schon jetzt nicht mehr entwickeln.

@macrumors I'm rooting for the guys behind @ivory because #ivory is a great app I'm happy to pay for, but my crowd is here.

I have an audio recording I'd like to post to Mastodon. It comes from Apple's Voice Memos app, and its file extension is "m4a". #Ivory doesn't seem to want to do it. Should I try the web interface? Convert the file to something else? Upload it to YouTube?

#ivory is leaking memory!

Every day adds about 400MB…

Wait, Mastodon has a quote-boost? Or is that just an Ivory thing?

#Mastodon #Ivory #ios

@ivory @tapbots On #macOS #ivory only changes its icon to the configured one, when it is running, is it possible to fix that?

Any other #Ivory users suddenly having problems with their Home timeline in the past few days?

#Tapbots

Is anybody else using @ivory having to constantly reset their account cache to get their home timeline to update??? I've had to do it on all my devices just about every day this week. 🤔

#ivory #mastodon

@ivory I remember getting rate-limited on the website in the past and it wasn’t a big deal but I can understand the reasoning.
Maybe some special setting somewhere so the user could choose to propagate all calls immediately?
Or could the streaming API of the website be implemented in #Ivory as well?

@ivory This is still happening with the latest version. Before #Ivory would show the toot I just composed, I was able to open a new tab in my browser, navigate to my instance and read the too there. All while Ivory was still acting like there are no fresh toots to show. After another minute it magically appeared when I tried refreshing for the 10th time 😂
#Mastodon

Hi @Ivory

I'm trying to do a #regex filter to remove German posts from my timeline.

Unfortunately, it looks like #ivory is picking up posts in other languages. Strangely, if I test my expression with regex101, it does not seem to pick up the 2 problematic posts.

https://regex101.com/r/hIYFEn/1

Did I miss something, or is it an Ivory bug?

Thanks

@tchambers thanks :)

I’m using #ivory - but doesn’t appear to let me. Good to know it’s possible, so hopefully on their roadmap.

@_elena it's my understanding that #ivory doesn't play nice with #GoToSocial. It's not that it's self hosted but that ivory is looking for extra info that GtS doesn't yet support from the Mastodon API. I've found a couple of apps that can't work with GtS. 😒 Thier loss as GtS is fab

For those who want to use #Hollo on @ivory: #Ivory evolved from the Tweetbot codebase, which was a third-party Twitter client, so it assumes that object IDs are integers. Hollo uses UUIDs for object IDs, so it can't be used with Ivory at this time. We hope that Ivory will support non-integer object IDs in the future!

@ivory What is the state of the hard-coded 500 chars in #Ivory? I was experimenting with #SkyBridge and came across an issue on GitHub that the limit is not actually pulled from the instance?
https://github.com/videah/SkyBridge/issues/10

Seriously @ivory I love you, but this is just crap!

Can you please do something about how these posts are formatted?!

At the very least respect line breaks and don't fuse them together without even a single space between…

A couple of software changes I've made recently which I think I'll commit to. From Arc browser, which I've found quirky and a bit buggy, to Vivaldi, and from Ivory to Mona app, subscription to one off payment.

In my own subscription news…
1. Back to #Ivory for another year. $24.99 combined for a solid macOS and iOS app is hard to pass up. Didn't see any alternatives that did both well.
2. Squarespace stacked up better than I thought for my “professional” site and migrating to something new is a chore so staying with it.
3. Two different instances of WordPress I need to fiddle with.
4. Car registration - $74.50 if I had an EV it would be $200/yr on top of $400 the 1st time. $7 inspection.

There’s been speculation that this might be a test to see if absence of third-party #Twitter apps affects engagement. But it doesn’t matter anymore. We’re watching the developers react in real-time on a competing platform. Their trust in Twitter is gone. Their customers’ trust in Twitter is gone. And they’re more loyal to the developers than they ever were to Twitter. API usage could have been a feature of Blue. But now people are lining up to pay for #Ivory, #Mammoth, #Mona, etc.—not Twitter.

Oh wow #Ivory 2.0 really made the media attachments into a carousel UI for post details screen.

While maintaining aspect ratios 😲

Which means I can't add a @hollo account to #Ivory.

A few words of advice for new #Fellas from #NAFO doing #TwitterMigration to get away from #SpaceKaren's hellscape:
1.Toot with hashtags
2. Search with hashtags
3.Follow hashtags
4.Make lists
5. If you use #iPhone, pay for the #Ivory app; if you use #android, pay for #Fedilab
6. BOOST BOOST BOOST!!!
7. Remember that #NAFOExpansionIsNonNegotiable, Glory to #Ukraine, #Russia is a terrorist state, #WeAreNAFO

Huh, there’s no API for this right?

Hello, Mastodon! I love being here! I'm one of the recent newcomers from #Twitter, and I'm really impressed by the quality, stability, and functionality of emerging custom Mastodon apps, like #Ivory and #IceCubes, which I have started using recently on my #iPhone 14 Pro Max! It's also great that I don't have to turn on my Dutch VPN server connection to use international Mastodon instances, like I had to with Twitter due to local laws regarding Western propaganda.
