#Pachli (website, google play, f-droid, github, mastodon)

To quote from https://pachli.app/pachli/2023/09/06/hello-pachli.html:

Pachli is an application (now) and an association (aspirational).

Pachli-the-application is a best-in-class open source Android application for Mastodon and Mastodon-like servers. If you’re familiar with Tusky then you’ll love Pachli.

Pachli-the-association is intended to provide a first class organisation to manage the development of the application under the 7 cooperative principles:

  1. Voluntary and open membership
  2. Democratic member control
  3. Member economic participation
  4. Autonomy and independence
  5. Education, Training, and Information
  6. Cooperation among Cooperatives
  7. Concern for Community

The application is a rapidly iterating fork of the popular Tusky Mastodon client, branched from version 23.0 of that application.

Pachli includes many changes from Tusky 23.0, including:

  • View trending posts and links from your server

  • Add bookmarked posts to their own tab
