So I signed up to transfem.social recently which runs Sharkey. Sharkey is a fork of Misskey that’s also compatible with the Mastodon API and federates with Mastodon servers. I’m extremely impressed by how easy and fun the user experience is so far. It has a great simple tutorial for new users, and achievement system (which you can turn off if you want), custom reactions, embedded swf files, and quite a bit more. IMO it blows Mastodon software out of the water as far as usability. It’s also a project led by trans devs which is cool too. You all should check it out if you’re curious: https://joinsharkey.org/

i always wonder how does mastodon keeps being the main software for the fediverse. it is just a twitter wannabe that doesn't want to drift too far from it's predecesor while denying any inovation or any interesting or fun feature

in the other hand, i'm glad most twitterites stay on the mastodon instances so they are easier to keep away
