A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
In term of UX the miss/calc/shark key beat Mastodon.
However, Mastodon has way more instances (including many ran by well established organisations) and a stabler codebase (while, regarding *key, I am a bit concerned by the amount of forks)
It's the same fediverse so you would see the sa me federation from both
The topic of the instance only really plays a role in Mastodon. With Sharkey and most other Fediverse software, there are much better features for structuring the content you are interested in. In Friendica, for example, via the channels and in Sharkey, Misskey and its other forks with the Antennas / News Picker
I tried using keywords for an antenna, and it spat out a bunch of nonsense all the time that had nothing to do with any keywords I had entered. Bizarre. Also, I like to have a local feed I'm interested in. Imo it's one of the best features of the fediverse.
I don't know, I have very good experiences with the Antennas. It (almost always) delivers the expected content. Do you perhaps have a keyword that is also (part of) an instance name?
Then it would have to be added as an excluded word.
That HAS to be it! Thank you! I was trying to figure out the problem for ages!
@caos @caos @jeze Small minus point for #Sharkey: the federation with #Lemmy is better from #Mastodon (it's best with #Friendica (= this account)). This answer from Sharkey, for example, has not been received yet.
Mastodon and Misskey are both getting a little overstuffed. Neither are particularly nimble, with Masto moving to further "professionalise" itself and Misskey (forks included) having way too much stuff on offer in terms of features.
Regarding clients, Kaiteki seems to be the best Misskey client I've found on mobile. The native PWA was an absolute pain the last time I used Misskey. The anime issue with it probably stems from it's Japanese origin and most big instances seen as refuges for artists banned off Twitter.
I've personally switched to GoToSocial, which seems to fill all the Mastodon-shaped holes without gulping down resources.
I prefer Sharkey, but I'm sure that comes as no surprise :P
The MissKey forks like Sharkey/Iceshrimp/Catodon all have better featuresets and UI/UX than Mastodon IMO. If you don't already have a Mastodon instance that you're extremely pleased with, I would pick one of them instead. I can't comment on the app situation though.
I'm on sharkey, I have setup antennas for the tags I care about and I have a pretty good list of people I follow. I enjoy all the features, even if I don't use all of them personally. I really like the PWA but sometimes I use Moshidon, a Mastodon client.
Key forks are much more aesthetically pleasing
Love it on desktop, so many more features and the UI is super slick. It just doesn't have an app yet to make it complete
