What do you mean by gatekeeping?
I noticed that the interface seemed a bit slow. I toggled and option to reduce animations so hopefully that improves things.
Comment on Firefish Mastodon alternative

I didn’t enjoy firefish, it was buggy and seemed to have a lot of gatekeeping.

How does software have gatekeeping? Does a dialog box pop up and say “I’m sorry, you are not cool enough to use this app”?

Agreed, I much prefer Mastodon over firefish. Firefish handles hashtags really strangely and (at least at the time I tried) wouldn’t allow you to even have followed hashtags show up in your timeline.

Well, that would be because following hashtags isn’t a feature of Firefish. Antannae are a fundamentally different thing - they’re saved searches.

Right, which is exactly what I said I didn’t like about it?
