About Tokodon
Tokodon is a Mastodon client from the KDE project for browsing and posting on the fediverse. It covers timelines, posting, reporting and filtering, and recent releases add focal points for images, pasting or dropping images into the composer, a confirmation before discarding drafts, and options to hide boosts and replies in the home timeline.
It is released regularly with KDE Gear and is available on Linux through Flathub or distribution packages, with a Windows build. It suits people on a KDE or Linux desktop who want a native fediverse app.
