It's very feature rich and I love it, Misskey also has special markdown support called MFM and it has so many options

It's incredibly feature rich especially when compared to Mastodon: emoji reactions, markdown support, bubbles (tabs that show all posts from selected instances, as defined by server admins), channels (member run groups for specific topics)

The backend also scales better than mastodon.

Federated self-hosted social network specifically created to cater Japanese internet culture.

The UI/UX might contrast to Western-developed fediverse software like Mastodon or Pixelfed, but it doesn't mean a bad thing.

Go use this if you want a modern social media, but with cool post customization features like 2000's social media.

It is lightweight yet feature-packed.

The hitchhiker's guide to the Fediverse

The federated universe, or “Fediverse”, is a free and open-source alternative to commercial social media platforms. It's composed of a group of federated social networking services, which allow users of each service to communicate with users on any other service. This is typically accomplished using the ActivityPub protocol. In this post, we'll try to present you some lesser-known federated platforms to major and famous social networks you've probably been using for years.

ActivityPub

A list of implementations of the ActivityPub protocol. If you know of an implementation that is missing or if you would like to see an edit to this list please reach out to me via Mastodon/AP: https://jonleibowitz.social/@jon *** UPDATE 2023 *** This list is woefully out of date and needs major revision. Please bear with me as I look it over and thoughtfully curate the latest state of AP implementations. Or make your own up to date list - that'd be cool too.

What is Misskey?

Misskey is a decentralized microblogging platform born on Earth.

Since it exists within the Fediverse (a universe where various social media platforms are organized), it is mutually linked with other social media platforms such as Mastodon icon Mastodon and Pleroma icon Pleroma.

Features:

  • Post your ideas, discussion topics, fun moments, or anything else you want to share! Misskey supports text, emoji, pictures, videos, and polls!
  • Reactions are the simplest way to respond to others' posts. Simply pick a reaction emote from the list! Reactions on Misskey are much more expressive than other social media services which only allow “liking”.
  • Customize the UI to your own tastes! No UI will work for everyone, so Misskey is completely customizable. Make Misskey yours by editing the style, adjusting timeline layouts, and placing widgets.
  • Organize and store your files! Want to post a picture you have already uploaded? Wish you could organize your files into folders? Misskey Drive is a solution!
