Hi from lemm.ee👋
Firefish user here. While I do agree with the statement, I’d like to add that Firefish integrated really well in “twitter-verse”. You can see post from Mastodon, Misskey, Akkoma/Pleroma and other platforms. So the small userbase isn’t much of a problem.
I, personally, find Misskey/Firefish a much better alternative to Twitter than mastodon. It has everything you’d expect: Nice and clean UI, “quoted retweets” ability, working search functionality, post reactions and much more.
However you still need to go to an accounts instance to see its subscriptions/subscribes. But I guess it will be fixed in future
I think it would be better if you posted a link to the official VIZ translation, rather than poorly made fan-translation.
I’m on calckey.world, and it seems to be federated with mastodon.art. at least post from there appear on my global feed
