From the article:
Mastodon is a great microblogging platform, but maybe you want to try something new. Firefish made a splash recently, and a lot of people are talking about it. If you’ve played with it for a while and want to officially take the plunge, here’s some tips on moving from your Mastodon Instance to a Firefish one.
Forgot to mention that app! I did see it but they are listed as alpha and without any actual versioned release of the app yet. I’ll keep an eye on it, but the Firefish devs also said they’re working on their own native app. Fedilab devs did announce they would support Calckey, but it seems to have taken a major backseat as that was like a year ago, and the issue was then closed as “we’ll only support Mastodon API platforms in this app” and then the issue was re-opened after some vote.
I use kaiteki from time to time and so far I find the application quite nice. Otherwise, I don’t know if all the features are already supported, but I’ve just tested and my Firefish account works in Fedilab.
What the what? I’ll have to try it out. They don’t list Firefish as a supported platform!

Maybe it’s API compatible with Mastodon? There’s an open issue for some functionality not working, but it’s in French

Side note on Fedilab, do you find it battery-heavy? Do you have the push distributor thing setup for it?
I’ve tried some of the features mentioned in the issue and reactions seems to work but the quotes are still broken.
According to the codeberg issue, it is.
I can’t really answer that yet, I’ve just installed the app to test firefish.
