Meet interesting people on Mastodon & co. via an intuitive swiping interface in this new Fediverse client. Filter, follow, match, chat and express yourself! What makes this Mastodon Client unique? - FediMatch is designed to get you into the Fediverse as quickly as possible. When you initially create an account on an instance of your choice, your feed is empty. You need to find people to follow before you can really dive in. FediMatch uses the familiar card swiping system to let you find people to follow and chat. - To guide you, you can design your own "Algorithm" to determine how much another user might align with you. - And of course: NO DATA is saved in the CLOUD, or SHARED otherwise. Everything stays on your device and your Mastodon account.
