@FediTips when can i run it on my nintendo 3ds?

@FediTips Wish there was a feature phone friendly style website version that could be used on Nintendo 3DS/PlayStation Vita like dabr.co.uk/Tweete used to be for Twitter.

@commentator2_0 @FediTips Would like to know too like for Vita too. Just a minimal website

@Lady_Noremon

You could try using a lightweight web interface like Brutaldon? That might work on older devices that can access the web:

@Lady_Noremon @commentator2_0

You could try accessing through Brutaldon? https://brutaldon.org/about

p.s. A number of people asking if there's a lightweight version of Mastodon's web interface to use on older devices, you could try "Brutaldon":

https://brutaldon.org/about

It works on text browsers, so it may be lightweight enough for some older devices that can't cope with the official web interface.

@FediTips "Client authentication failed due to unknown client, no client auth included, or unsupported auth method" My instance blocking it?

@FediTips Would like to access Masto on my iOS9 iPad. Tootle worked until Masto v4.

@FediTips does it really work on its own in all of these or does it require a modern os running a proxy alongside for stripping all the ssl/tls?

@FediTips Love the visual style of this post Awesome collections of icons (of icons).

Thanks, it's the joy of custom emoji!

Some do, some don't. @MegaMichelle went through them:

@TheVoidTLMB

Have you tried the official web interface?

@TheVoidTLMB

I'm not sure, you might need to check with your admin?

@FediTips Yep. Nothing but a black screen since Masto v4

@TheVoidTLMB

Hmm... What about https://elk.zone?

@FediTips Ah, didn’t know about that, ta. But merely an almost completely white screen.

@TheVoidTLMB

Brutaldon would be your best bet, still wondering why it doesn't work...

Another option might be Semaphore?

@FediTips I FUCKING LOVE TECHNOLOGY AND HOW PEOPLE STILL MAKE STUFF FOR OLD SOFTWARE
