      It has the better feature set and UX. Some things I like:

      • Threaded comment replies (though they display differently from Lemmy’s).
      • Antennae for discoverability.
        • Can use hashtags AND keywords.
        • Can filter results by instance.
        • Can create multiple timelines to display content in.
      • Customizable UI via widgets.
      • I think the theming options are better.
      • Full-text search.
      • Quote posts.
      • Cat mode.

      ok but how about you tell me why to move from mastodon to firefish?

      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
