I had to Google it to find out what it even is.
What is it?
It's basically an alternate version of Mastodon, similar to how Kbin and Lemmy both do similar things while being seperate projects, and a fork of another project called Misskey
Does Firefish/Misskey/Foundkey work seamlessly with Mastodon like Lemmy works with Kbin?
For the most part. There's a bunch of different microblogging and macroblogging platforms that all talk to each other through ActivityPub, but of course there are occasionally quirks when it comes to compatibility.
