Firefish is a hot, new microblogging platform with a gorgeous UI and tons of new features! Here's a guide on how to easily switch over from Mastodon.

From the article:

Mastodon is a great microblogging platform, but maybe you want to try something new. Firefish made a splash recently, and a lot of people are talking about it. If you’ve played with it for a while and want to officially take the plunge, here’s some tips on moving from your Mastodon Instance to a Firefish one.

    I think Firefish has some nice UX improvements over Mastodon, like kbin vs Lemmy, but I like having a Tusky or Fedilab type of app. I see Milktea for Misskey/Mastodon, but looks like probably not FOSS and the screenshots in the Play Store listing don’t really entice me to try it out.

        I poked at it a bit and it does indeed let you log in with a Firefish account, but it seems like it doesn’t support threaded replies like Firefish and also lacks the Antenna feature?

          yea, it’s still a pretty basic implementation at the moment. Hopefully it’ll be added in the future.

        Forgot to mention that app! I did see it but they are listed as alpha and without any actual versioned release of the app yet. I’ll keep an eye on it, but the Firefish devs also said they’re working on their own native app. Fedilab devs did announce they would support Calckey, but it seems to have taken a major backseat as that was like a year ago, and the issue was then closed as “we’ll only support Mastodon API platforms in this app” and then the issue was re-opened after some vote.

          I use kaiteki from time to time and so far I find the application quite nice. Otherwise, I don’t know if all the features are already supported, but I’ve just tested and my Firefish account works in Fedilab.
