Glad I held back from suggesting Firefish for my wife. I’ve been slowly trying to convince her to jump to the fediverse for microblogging and figured to have her try Firefish simply because it’s prettier than Mastodon. Guess it’s back to ol’ Mastodon.

You can suggest Akkoma to her if you want a Mastodon alternative.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Closer to Firefish would be Iceshrimp, a fork of Firefish started when the writing started to appear on the wall.

Does anyone know if Mastodon have that "multiple frontends" thing Lemmy has?

    See what I said above. I don't mean clients, I mean frontends.

    Damn shame, tbh. Out of all of them I really like the visuals and vibe of Firefish.

    Yeah it looked promising. Also a shame I never got to try it properly because it didn’t work for me from the start. Home timeline never loaded and errored out and I never got any kind of support response so gave up on it. Oh well.

    (Also, hi Harry in the wilds of Lemmy. 👋😂)

    For those who don’t know there is misskey-hub.net/en/

    Did the Misskey network not advise against e.g. EU people signing up because of legal reasons like GPDR? Anyway, Iceshrimp works very much as intended and has active development so that could be an alternative for some people (have no experience with Sharkey).

    RIP. Was on firefish a few months but saw the writing on the wall back then and jumped ship. In retrospect, probably the 3rd or 4th federated product I’ve been a user of that flamed out. WATTBA

    I tried Firefish but at no point in time did it ever actually work well. 85% of the content just wouldn’t load.

    It did when it was still called Calckey, but around the time of the rebranding their main server got into issues (Kainoa, the previous maintainer, was messing around with it to improve performance but that just broke things).
