Husky (Social Media App)

3 of 5 Stars

A fork based on an older version of Tusky, with added support for Pleroma and Akkoma extensions. This includes things like quote boosts, emoji reactions, a toolbar for markdown formatting, and local-only posts, and it works quite well on Akkoma.

Husky runs about as smoothly as Tusky, with the exception that it currently needs to keep a background process running for push notifications. (It looks like the planned switch to Unified Push should resolve that.)

You can use it to connect to other server types like Mastodon or GoToSocial, but it doesn't always know which extensions are supported. For example, it assumes Mastodon and GoToSocial will handle local-only posts the same way Akkoma does, and if you try, the post fails. And it hasn't kept up with newer Mastodon features as well as Tusky has.
