IIRC, Catodon development is currently halted (https://catodon.social/notes/9rl77swzw25jjq7x).

Sharkey I don’t know

There really is a whole *keys forks lore ha ha

To me, FireFish got replaced by IceShrimp. Good looking interface, nice features (Antenna) and regular releases.

If you look at any profile page, it’s the classic Mastodon layout: https://veganism.social/@mascottus

The probably just customized the home page

If you really want something a bit less austere than Mastodon you can have a look at https://iceshrimp.social/

Unexpected [email protected]

Nice OC!

There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

Sometimes they are identical and should merge, sometimes due to the specific audience of the instance, it’s better to keep them separate.

I wouldn’t suggest merging [email protected] and [email protected]

Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Mbin does support multireddits, but this doesn’t seem to be interesting enough for people to switch to it (while Lemmy communities are fully accessible from Mbin)

A lot of them have been abandoned now.

Indeed, we should definitely consolidate

Both could work, in a different way.

Nextcloud is more like a shared agenda, where you need to explicity invite people to events.

Mobilizon is more like Facebook events, where anyone with the link can say they will attend.

You might even have both, a Nextcloud for the members of the org and a Mobilizon as the public events

If they could encourage it at the countries level that would be nice too.

Some German and NL public services have Mastodon accounts IIRC, that’s a first step.
