To those who have used both which do you prefer overall?
What has me on the fence with Sharkey is it seems overstuffed, and the vast majority of instances revolve around anime. I like anime, sure, but it’s 90% of the content.
The extra features seem rad but it looks like you need to use the PWA to access most of them and there are very few misskey sns supported clients available.
The topic of the instance only really plays a role in Mastodon. With Sharkey and most other Fediverse software, there are much better features for structuring the content you are interested in. In Friendica, for example, via the channels and in Sharkey, Misskey and its other forks with the Antennas / News Picker
@caos @caos @jeze Small minus point for #Sharkey: the federation with #Lemmy is better from #Mastodon (it’s best with #Friendica (= this account)). This answer from Sharkey, for example, has not been received yet.
I tried using keywords for an antenna, and it spat out a bunch of nonsense all the time that had nothing to do with any keywords I had entered. Bizarre. Also, I like to have a local feed I’m interested in. Imo it’s one of the best features of the fediverse.
I don’t know, I have very good experiences with the Antennas. It (almost always) delivers the expected content. Do you perhaps have a keyword that is also (part of) an instance name?
Then it would have to be added as an excluded word.
That HAS to be it! Thank you! I was trying to figure out the problem for ages!
