Besides Custom feeds (Misskey’s “Antennas”), Catodon is the first Misskey fork that implements native hashtag following, like Mastodon. This has been one of the most requested features in the Firefish days, and I’m very happy that it is finally available.

With the recent additions of native Mastodon API support, Mastodon-compatible quotes and following hashtags, I think that the name choice for Catodon becomes clearer: I am actively trying to bridge the gap between Misskey and Mastodon, keeping/implementing the best features of both platforms - but also going beyond that, with unique features like the RSS feed, Custom timelines and of course the Lemmy-compatible Forums! After almost half a year of working on this pretty much daily, I feel that it’s finally starting to take shape and show its own character, moving far beyond being just a Sharkey fork.
