| == What are Mastodon forks and why use them? ==
| |
|
| |
| A fork is a derivative software. So Mastodon forks are software based on Mastodon. <br>
| |
| They look and feel mostly like Mastodon, but some have some extra features that e.g. address some of the limitations mentioned above.

| |
|
| |
| Ecko is a Mastodon fork that has a lot of cool features. <br>
| |
| Admins can change the limits on post characters, poll options & profile fields. <br>
| |
| So on an Ecko instance you might e.g. have a 5000 character limit for posts and can create polls with 10 options. <br>
| |
|
| |
| Furthermore local posts are possible. Meaning posts only other users of the same instance can see. This might strengthen the community spirit.
