    It’s sort of like the difference between Lemmy and Kbin, they’re different websites that share the same concept and can communicate with one another.

      Yep! And they have different styling & feature sets that some may prefer, like Firefish has full text search & quoting posts unlike Mastodon for a super basic yet big difference.

      There’s also a bunch of other features I haven’t dug into much that are interesting, like “antennae” for following words/hashtags and widgets for a variety of things. I don’t know how well they all work, but overall it’s aiming to be much more robust than Mastodon.

        quoting posts unlike Mastodon

        what happens when a Firefish user quotes a post and it federates to Mastodon? Is the quote lost?

          Not sure tbh…It may be, or it may try to convert it to a link to the quoted post instead.
