1 part 'Meta users 'already have' an account so getting into it is easy', mixed with 1 part 'The slightest possibility of inconvenience (like having to choose a Mastodon server) acts as a deterrent to most people when alternative means are available'.
“Firefish is a hot new microblogging platform”: it’s not that “new” at all, #Calckey, which has been around since 2021, has only recently changed its name to Firefish
the antennas / news picker had apparently not yet been fully understood by the author: they do not fill retroactively and it is a full-text search that also finds parts of words. Therefore, if it doesn’t fit, search words can be excluded - it works very well for me! If you use it for a little longer instead of just taking a quick look, you can use it to structure your content very well.
“Lack of an official app is kind of disappointing”: “official” apps are perhaps important as a “brand” for some, the so-called “Mastodon” app is also the worst app ever for Mastodon (fortunately with many better alternatives). The PWA for Firefish works great on all devices, if you don’t want to miss out on any features and want the best look, you don’t need an app.
The biggest hindrance at the moment right now is the flagship instance at firefish.social:" The instance has clearly communicated that it primarily serves as a test instance, i.e. it does not strive for or want to guarantee stability. In contrast to mastodon.social, Firefish itself also makes clearer reference to the selection and there are now really many Firefish instances.
For me, the biggest disadvantage of Firefish at the moment is that it doesn’t yet federate properly with Lemmy.
@donuts Kbin and Lemmy support is a little bit janky at the moment, it's also kind of easier to view this from the microblogging / social side of the Fediverse.
Olha, estou confortável com usar pelo navegador então nem fui atrás de aplicativos.
Mas ao que tudo indica, o Kbin permite gerar um feed RSS, então pelo menos publicações podem ser vistas em outros serviços.
E imagino que, tal como a concorrência, tenha um API público próprio, então talvez tenha aplicativo próprio também.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't see any content via kbin. I've tried to access it as a magazine (which is what would make the most sense for a blog, probably) and as a user. Both are recognized (i.e. I don't get 404) but neither has any content (just get "Empty").
What LLM wrote this repetitious and borderline incoherent article? Or does the author really think circular logic repeated ad nauseam causes their point to become valid through some kind of rhetorical cytogenesis?
Honestly I feel like the darker stuff would scare a lot of people away from joining. There was that major CSAM issue on one of the more popular instances a while ago. I think it was a shit posting community.
