Mammoth, the new Mastodon social media app, has been downloaded 10K times in just the first few days on the App Store.

Included in the team that created the app is the creator of the famous Aviary app for Twitter. Earlier this year, Twitter closed down the Aviary app after CEO Elon Musk said there was no need for third-party apps.
The app is still in the early stages of its development. When asked how they plan to use the app and their business model, they said: “We have mostly decided that there will be a subscription version of Mammoth & moth.social. However, we have not yet figured out the details, and we care about the details. For example, we love the part of Mastodon culture where folks are encouraged to make a donation to their server team to help cover server costs, and we’d like that to be a significant part of our subscription system (supporting servers beyond moth.social, that is), but that comes with legal issues, App Store TOS issues etc.“.
