The twitter type platforms must be receiving heaps of new people lately. I’m not really seeing that first hand because mainly post here and Kbin. Also just got an invite to Tildes recently so that keeps me busy.

What does firefish do that Mastodon doesn’t?

@useless_modern_god yup, it's such a bizarre period on social media right now.

Firefish is based on a fork of Misskey, a popular Fediverse microblog platform in Asia, especially Japan.

It's graphically quite pretty, and I've been told it allows Quote Boosts though I haven't worked quite how on the instance I created an account on...

Oh true? I lurked on Misskey for a bit. Might check it out thank you.
