Elk is an alternative way to access your Mastodon account from your browser. This client is currently in an alpha stage of development.
Mastodon is a decentralized microblogging platform. Mastodon uses the ActivityPub protocol to share posts and actions between users within or across different instance servers.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Notifications for the same post combine when they are sequential. No more seeing your same viral joke multiple times in the Notification feed for each like and boost. Now you can see it just one, with a list of who liked or boosted the post just above the post itself.
- You control whether you see boost, like, and follower accounts – all separately!
- See a preview of the profile when someone follows you.
