I am considering using a Fire tablet and a Chromebook and would like to know what OS I need to access the Fediverse suite of apps.

Is the Fediverse accessible as part of the Amazon and Google suite of apps?

Would I be able to access it on the Web anywhere no matter what device?

I intend to use the Fediverse everywhere if possible no matter what device I may acquire.

    What? LOL you are accessing the Fediverse when writing this post.

    I think you’re confused about what the Fediverse is. It’s comprised of a variety of software (mostly social media) that’s interoperable, meaning you can post on one platform, then read and reply from another.

    You don’t need any app at all to access it. Apps are just frontends (user interfaces) to access the information submitted to the Fediverse.

      For many Fediverse users, Mastodon is an app. The whole of Mastodon is one app. Mastodon the server application and Mastodon the official phone app are united in one big murky monolith.
