Alternative frontends

## Alternative frontends

Currently, the built in Iceshrimp.NET frontend is pretty unfinished and not very usable for daily usage. We provide other frontends that give better usage for use with Iceshrimp. Alternatively, Iceshrimp also implements direct Mastodon-API compatibility, so you may bring or use your own Mastodon clients as well!

- Iceshrimp.NET • The default frontend, requires to be logged in directly to Iceshrimp before being accessible. Required to be used if you want to change some of your profile settings. For other options, refer to the two last options of this list.
- Mastodon • The Mastodon frontend based off of the Chuckya fork with extra support for Iceshrimp based features, the most stable/recommended. Source
- Akkoma • The Akkoma frontend with extra support for Iceshrimp based features. Source
- Phanpy • Opinionated, minimalist Mastodon client, works well with Iceshrimp. Enable the Akkoma flag for proper support with Emoji reactions. Source
- pl-fe • Another Mastodon-compatible client, works well with Iceshrimp. Source

- Swagger • Special frontend for directly interacting with the Iceshrimp API. Required to enable/modify some settings with your account.
- scalar • A fancier, more advanced alternative to Swagger.
