Misskey. It’s not exactly niche, but it has a lot of cool features.
For example:
- Drive features to reuse your image or other media.
- Misskey games, so far only have Bubble Game and Go.
- Groups
- Antenna, basically subscription for any post with your set of rules.
- Playful profile decoration, similiar to Discord/Steam.
Misskey (I use sharkey, a fork of it) is really good. Groups don’t federate yet iirc.
Its frontend is extremely slow though.
And the search is awfull.
how ever the UI is pretty
The search doesn’t even work on my instance.
Lemmy is the only fediverse software with a good search imo.lol, tbh yeah.
even on mastodon which is relatively big the search is jst bad.
does mastodon’s search even work? Unless a post has a hashtag its near-unindexable.
In a better world, this (or one of its forks) would have taken off instead of Mastodon. It makes a way better case for itself by its distinct features compared to Mastodon, which is too easy to ignore (by everyday people) as Nerd-Twitter.
