minus-squarenasi_goreng@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·1 day agoMisskey. 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.
minus-squareirelephant [he/him]@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 day agoMisskey (I use sharkey, a fork of it) is really good. Groups don’t federate yet iirc. Its frontend is extremely slow though.

minus-squareirelephant [he/him]@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoThe search doesn’t even work on my instance. Lemmy is the only fediverse software with a good search imo.
minus-squareEndymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 hours agoMy experience on Mbin says that the search is pretty good. It might be skewed because I mostly search for magazines, though.
minus-squarenot quite01(they/them)@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agolol, tbh yeah. even on mastodon which is relatively big the search is jst bad.
minus-squareirelephant [he/him]@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agodoes mastodon’s search even work? Unless a post has a hashtag its near-unindexable.
minus-squarepoVoq@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 hours agoSearch on my Akkoma instance works reasonably well. Of course there is no central index, so it can only find what it has federated before.
minus-squaregrysbok@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoI’m also on Sharkey. It’s just more fun that Mastodon. Also feels a touch more queer, in a wonderful way.
minus-squareElectroVagrant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 day agoIn 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.
