Cool things on Firefish/clackey, that Mastodon and most of it forks don't have:

• Quote notes (Misskey and Akkoma, a fork of Pleroma, also have them)

• Antennas. They allow you to add words, tags and accounts to lists and create parallel timelines that you can see whenever you want, without having to follow this accounts

• You can create personalized timelines for certain accounts to appear in.

• It has a drive section where you can upload files.

• Channels. This are public local group that the members of a server can create, join and interact within.

• Private chat groups. Local only.

• Emoji reactions

• Clips. These are collections of notes ("note" is the name post receive in Misskey and Firefish)

You can create multiple clips and manage them by giving a name and description to each. You can also choose to make your clips public to make them available to other users.

• You can create custom web pages. For now they don't federate.

• Customisable (by admin) character limit.

A drive section to upload files sounds like hell as an admin

Here a better explanation from the Misskey (from where Firefish took this feature) official page

I haven't seen any Misskey or Firefish admin commenting negatively about the existence of the drive feature itself

That is a little different than I imagined. Still not sure how I feel about it though lol
