ok but how about you tell me why to move from mastodon to firefish?
It has the better feature set and UX. Some things I like:
Cat mode?
You can put cat ears on your avatar and they wiggle when you hover your mouse over them.
I like the UI better (by a lot), I like the "antennas" feature, I like that I can do a traditional blog post if I choose ("pages" they call it), it's very custom-configurable, and in the 3 days since I've joined I've already seen bugfixes and improvements deployed.
Why move? If Mastodon is 100% great for you and nothing about the look/feel/functionality of Firefish jumps out at you then there is really no reason.
you don’t really have to, but it’s a lot more feature rich, less heavy to run if you’re self hosting, and has a really slick ui to boot
