@Mark Darbyshire Here's a feature comparison between Misskey, now dead FoundKey, Firefish, Iceshrimp.NET, Sharkey and Catodon.

Sharkey is said to have a terrible Mastodon API implementation, though.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, @Fediverse News is on Friendica which should be compatible with both Mastodon, Misskey and their respective forks. We've had these federated groups for five and a half years longer than we've had Mastodon.

Granted, Friendica does not specialise in groups/forums, but still.

Hubzilla has federated public and private forums, too, with even more features. Its permissions system makes it possible for other Hubzilla or (streams) users to moderate forums by becoming co-admins, not to mention that Hubzilla and (streams) users can moderate their own threads. But I've yet to see Hubzilla forums in action with Mastodon and *key users.

(streams) is similar with even more advanced permission controls, and it doesn't come with quite as many extra optional features that you'll never need as Hubzilla. But it's being redesigned on the inside to introduce nomadic identity via ActivityPub which has recently caused problems in federation with anything that doesn't use (streams)' own Nomad protocol. I'll have to check whether these issues are gone in the current release.
