@bruhSoulz :eve: Hm...

Firefish is in maintenance mode. Its death has been announced for the end of the year.

Iceshrimp is basically in maintenance mode, too. It's being rewritten from scratch as Iceshrimp.NET in C# as opposed to Misskey's Node.js. It sounds promising, especially because all the old Misskey cruft will be absent from the new code, but it isn't ready yet.

Sharkey has lots of features, but it also seems to be buggy, and its devs are surrounded by a lot of drama.

The new hotness right now is CherryPick, a Sharkey fork. Better development, said to be more reliable than Sharkey, without the drama, and it seems to have even more features than Sharkey.

As for Catodon, itself an Iceshrimp fork, I haven't heard any news about it in ages. It could be that the development is waiting for Iceshrimp.NET to be fully released to rebase to it or something.
