Note: I made this post on a private ish server. Am merely copy pasting this to show how good Misskey is to people who see my account. I'm doing this as this is gonna be public so people who don't have accounts can see it
Misskey is Amazing
See on a surface level once you join misskey from another fediverse instance you probably notice two things:
The character limit is higher (it's 3000 btw)
It looks colorful and flashy with all those moving emoji and text.
However it's so much more than that! Misskey has so many features that the level of customization you get from it feels so good!
And you probably wouldn't even know what it can do if you just use the 'basic' stuff!
I'll list the cooler shit:
1)MFM. Basically advanced text formatting. youcandoshitlikethis ... and more!
2)You ever noticed that you can open mutliple windows on the same internet tab? Try it out now! it's great to respond to mutliple posts without having to switch through tabs!
You can favorite notes! This acts like a bookmark for shit you like! best part is, the OP of a note doesn't get notified, so you can keep it completely private!
You can even customize the sidebar! don't like the explore feature being there? well you can remove it and replace it with something else! like favorites or profile icon
Clips is a feature to group notes! it's like favorites where you can gather notes under a group. However you can make multiple of them, name them and make them public! Want people to see a certain collection of notes under one link, well you can do that!
There's also Misskey Play! You can make your own coding scripts and run them natively in misskey! you can design shit like calculators and tools and all
Channels! While there's not much english documentation about them, they seem to act like groups. Potential groups in the fediverse!
Antenna! want to see notes with a certain keyword, like "gaming" or "anime"? Well you can do that with antennas!
You can even save your settings in preferences backup! ever get the problem that whenever you login from a different device, your settings get reset? Well you can solve that problem by saving it! and then you can load those settings on any device!
I know I sound like a marketer and some people don't really care about these features, but I don't mind. These features are so goddamn fun!
Genuinely when I came here I thought it would just be like "Japanese Mastodon" but it actually blows my mind with what you can do here!
Someone should take these features and apply them to macroblogging lmao Also
I implore anyone reading this to try this shit out! if you're from an instance that doesn't have features similar to misskey you don't know what you're missing! Come on, it's a lot of fun!!!
@Lessgoo I'm glad you're enjoying the mostly notable features!
You see, #misskey was born before #fediverse, although implementing compatibility, it keeps own chan soul.
Chans were kind of guestbooks/forums during the early 00s.
Today we have federated chans, reactions quotations, channels, antennas, lots of useful stuff that other software, like mastodon does, can't implement at the same speed of our beloved core developers.
There's no commercial company behind Misskey core development, all the good the community does, it's for the sake 🍶 of the software's evolution itself, and by reflection, for the community. Thanks for joining us!
