Where are you located?

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

You do!

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

I share your pain… No solutions for you however, sorry

Yes, that’s why I always link Mbin nowadays

They are working on it: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59

You can try IceShrimp, their Antenna systems seems to be what you are looking for: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp

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/

What happens when someone posts to a local version of a community whose home instance no longer exists? I assume local users can see the post, but it doesn’t federate to any other instances?

Correct

Agree with your other point too

Good luck!

Nice community

I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it’s probably country dependent

Forgejo?

It really does!
