    How to Move from Mastodon to Firefish

    Jump

  • Firefish and Mastodon are both microblogging platforms (like Twitter) on the fediverse. Kbin and Lemmy are both forum style platforms (like Reddit).

    Where Lemmy and Mastodon are for people who prefer a more basic just the necessities experience, kbin and Firefish provide a more stylish experience with more options and customization.

  • I get it. I still flinch when I see I have new messages waiting. But the fediverse is generally a pretty pleasant place and we work hard to keep it that way.

    There's nothing wrong with having separate accounts either, I do. But if you're going to check out mastodon, I'd recommend also checking out firefish as well.

    They're both the "twitters" of the fediverse, so like kbin and Lemmy here. Mastodon is more for people who want a simple interface with fewer options, whereas Firefish has a sleeker more customizable interface with a lot more options and features. And it has a wonderful onboarding process. They'll both get you the same content, so it's whichever one you like better.

  • You've basically gotten your answer from the other comments, but you happened to pick the one fediverse platform that doesn't really federate well. Lemmy (I believe by design) only federates with kbin and that's about it. Kbin on the other hand federates with both Lemmy and mastodon/firefish (formerly Calckey).

    And just a note, with the activitypub protocol, all platforms have the option to federate with every other activitypub platform, but not all choose to, and not everything at that. So while you can follow Mastodon/firefish from, say, Pixelfed, it'll only populate the photos, not the text only posts.

    If you really want to follow Masto/firefish, you'd be better off with kbin as I don't believe Lemmy has that on their roadmap. Unfortunately, there isn't a migration option yet, so you'd have to refollow the same communities all over again from kbin.

  • What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy?

    Jump

  • If kbin.social does defederate from meta, you can migrate to another kbin server that hasn't. That's one of the nice things about the fediverse!

  • How familiar were you with the Fediverse before coming here?

    Jump

  • I joined Mastodon a couple of times in 2018 but could never make it stick. Coincidentally rejoined last year just before the Twitter implosion, and maybe it was all the new people I was able to start using it in a way that made sense to me and rather enjoyed it, despite not using Twitter.

    As soon as the writing was on the wall about the API changes, I created an account on Lemmy and here. That was end of May and the big migration happened end of June.

    So tl;dr, I've been aware of it since 2018, but didn't actually start using it until end of 2022.
