I know that communities don't translate well to Mastodon, I just find it a little odd how it seems to be a firehose of all comments in a community when viewed in Mastodon. I was expecting it to "repost" posts submitted to the community and have comments in the replies to those posts. Just something odd I was thinking about.

Yea I was part of the firefish hype from pretty early ... it was a sad moment for the fediverse.

Discourse and NodeBB developments are definitely awesome to see!

The other microblogging services have apps? Like akkoma ... has a mobile app? Is that what you mean?

IceShrimp is still pretty good

yea, heard good things.

The thing about firefish is that at the time there was still an energy among newcomers to mastodon to look for and even build new things. It's death and the way it happened genuinely burned some people I think and definitely let an opportunity slip.

That's understandable. A lot went into creating that FireFish wave.

They don't have apps and the sparse few apps available aren't as good as Moshidon.
