Misskey. 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.

Misskey (I use sharkey, a fork of it) is really good. Groups don't federate yet iirc.

Its frontend is extremely slow though.

And the search is awfull.

how ever the UI is pretty

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The search doesn't even work on my instance.
Lemmy is the only fediverse software with a good search imo.

lol, tbh yeah.

even on mastodon which is relatively big the search is jst bad.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

does mastodon's search even work? Unless a post has a hashtag its near-unindexable.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago

Search on my Akkoma instance works reasonably well. Of course there is no central index, so it can only find what it has federated before.

My experience on Mbin says that the search is pretty good. It might be skewed because I mostly search for magazines, though.
