Firefish

A fun, new, open way to experience social media

I found Firefish which is a better alternative to the standard Mastodon application. It’s compatible with Mastodon and has better features. It allows users to create web pages and the character limit is 3,000 instead of the 500 on Mastodon. It feels like a good limit for the type of site that it is. Plus this means that it can handle long posts from users on customized Mastodon instances.

    Agreed, I much prefer Mastodon over firefish. Firefish handles hashtags really strangely and (at least at the time I tried) wouldn’t allow you to even have followed hashtags show up in your timeline.

      Well, that would be because following hashtags isn’t a feature of Firefish. Antannae are a fundamentally different thing - they’re saved searches.

        Right, which is exactly what I said I didn’t like about it?
