How does Sharkey compare to Mastodon?

A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
I use Sharkkey sometimes just as an experiment. I agree with you, the extra features are rad and it is much more aesthetically pleasing. But it is "stuffed" with far too many navigation options, some of them even redundant. Also I absolutely loathe character limits on Mastodon.
The inability to follow hashtags is an instant dealbreaker.
What you see in your feed has absolutely nothing to do with the type of software and everything to do with who your instance chooses to federate with.
Also PWAs are great.
