Dear friends and followers,

Dear friends and followers,

as you may have noticed, i am testing several fediverse services right now. I have working instances on #GoToSocial, #Sharkey, #Mastodon (Glitch Edition) and this one here on #Friendica.

Friendica has many small issues with ActivityPub compatibility, that are still there after the last update and are nagging on me during daily use. No previews, posts from Mastodon not showing up in the timeline or other similar nuisances. Yes, it has the best connectivity to other internet services to offer - together with #Hubzilla. It can even be used as a RSS reader. I have been running this instance for quite some time and these issues haven't got any better. I think it's time for a change.

GoToSocial is still in beta and has a lot of features missing. Figure. Too early to use it for an instance.

Sharkey - formerly known as #Firefish - is a fork of #Misskey with a great modern UI and visuals. And a lot more features to offer than Mastodon.

Last but not least there is Mastodon. Clean and simple UI, decent features and widely known.

The only thing i am sure about is, that i will close this instance in the near future. I have to choose between Sharkey and Mastodon, i guess.

This is the way. Stay tuned.
