    Absolutely - though some people find it too bare bones. It’s designed to be a bit of an anti-Twitter, after all.

    Those looking for something more flashy might be interested in checking out, for example, Firefish. The Firefish site also includes a neat “Fediverse software comparison”, which lists popular federated services and some of the features they currently have. Personally I prefer the stripped down approach of Mastodon, but reasonable people might disagree. :)

    Oh, and there’s also elk.zone, an online user interface for Mastodon that behaves a lot like Twitter. Similar to those “old lemmy” sites (like old.lemmy.world) in a way, but as an online app similar to wefwef.app.

      Is Firefish the same thing as Calckey?

      I created a Calckey account a couple of weeks ago but it was basically a weird Mastodon with even fewer people from what I could tell.

        Important to note, the fewer people should not significantly restrict your experience. Everything is part of the same network.

          Good point. I did follow a few accounts I already follow on Mastodon. But then I thought “I have a Mastodon account already… Why am I doing this?”

          And the Emojis instead of starring a post was throwing me off.

          edit: I see there is a star online now. Maybe it was just the Kimis app that was weird.

            The apps have definitely been the biggest thing holding me back. Kaiteki seems perfect but also broken on my phone right now :/
