What about mobile apps? I’m on mastodon, but I basically never see the mastodon UI as I stick with Ivory (as I’m a former Tweetbot User on some ancient Microblogging Plattform which has transformed to something… else).

I don’t want to use some „nice looking“ Webpages which are optimized for mobile screens. I want dedicated Apps, as they offer mostly the much better experience.

I think the recent run of developing high class Mastodon Apps earlier this year (as the mentioned ancient Plattform kicked them out) gave mastodon an enormous boost.

Also that’s the same for Lemmy for me. Since Memmy and Mlem are in the AppStore (where I preferred Memmy), I use Lemmy much more and haven’t opened Reddit since 1st July.

So, as long as there aren’t any major high class mobile Apps for firefish, I don’t expect it getting anywhere near to mastodon.

Here’s a page with some features https://firefish.social/@youronlyone/pages/calckey-faq

First time user of firefish. Kind of like the UI. “Global” section is kind of chaotic. Guess that’s just the fediverse for ya

I think I'll stay on Mastodon. I don't like the Firefish UI. I haven't tried Akkoma yet.

Been waiting for the main instance to start up! Thanks for this guide.

Maybe I'm blind but I'm not seeing a way to follow tags on Firefish (I joined the main instance because the UI convinced me).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can't follow tags (something that should be added), but you can add them to Antennas

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yea looks like you're right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There's Antennas, although they may not be exactly what you're looking for since they're in a separate location from your main feed.

Can it federate with mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Indeed! It is, at the most basic level, another UI for the fediverse

The one-column layout of Firefish is good, it has tons more features than Mastodon

But the multi-column deck layout that I always use, it's kinda borked thus infuriating to use. Probably needs more time for the deck layout.
