Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I’m curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there’s no hate-speech (that I’m aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let’s hear your suggestions! Thank you!

    That site lists misskey as the second most popular fediverse network, but I never heard of it. I will check it out.

      It’s like Mastadon (but better) and very popular in Japan. Firefish is fork of it.

      My understanding is that Misskey is a lot older, from before the Fediverse and ActivityPub was a thing. It’s very popular in Japan, so it might not have as much content from other places.

      Firefish (formerly known as Calckey) is an actively developed fork of Misskey that hopes to add many requested community features.

      So firefish was started because Misskey development slowed (or stopped?), but it has had issues recently

        Together with Firefish developer Namekuji, Panos Damelos have started the Catodon project, a fork of Firefish. In the announcement blog post Catodon dives deeper into what makes the project stand out, noting the community driven aspect of the project. Catodon joins IceShrimp and Sharkey as recent Misskey fork projects that are all gaining popularity as small-scale fediverse servers.

        What a world.
