Despite delays, the plan to connect Tumblr's blogging site to the wider world of decentralized social media, also known as the "fediverse," is still on,
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, people should move their Tumblr accounts to FireFish.
At the risk of spreading rumours, word is that firefish isn’t a stable platform capable of scaling to a decent size well, and that’s because it’s a fork of a platform that had flaws and the lead dev is not entirely on top of them.
I say this as someone that was part of the firefish “wave” in May of this year and watched firefish.social (the flagship) die a sad death.
The idea of a western Misskey fork is awesome, but hasn’t landed (yet). Word is that Sharkey might be a good bet as it’s formed off of an apparently fixed Misskey (v13).
And for those fans of firefish that don’t know, much/most/all of what you like about it is from Misskey.
