Comparable how? Need some ideas and facts on the assertion.
Well, they're both microblogging platforms that use ActivityPub to communicate with other websites.
But I'd assume Mastodon has way more users, so probably not "comparable" exactly.
The userbase is not that important with activity pub. If the features are good they can grow slowly and still enjoy the whole fediverse. Of course it is important to have users at all. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to put work on the software.
You assumed well. I'm in a Firefish instance and the most content I can see from there comes from Mastodon users from other instances.
Don't missunderstand me. I think that is pretty cool because you can interact with both Mastodon and Firefish users using any of the two applications, but at least in case of my Firefish instance, most of the additional features of Firefish are underutilized.
