Anyone knows a page where they compare these fediverse projects? I can't see the difference from Lemmy and other reddit clones, or Mastadon clones...

I guess this one but would take a very long time to go through and find details about how each software works:

https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/

Actually maybe I should spend some time on that site, some of the software seems cool and completely unheard of to most people.

Fediverse.party is probably your best bet. Unless you have some specific question, then you're free to ask this community or the bigger one over at !fediverse@lemmy.world.

The main difference between Lemmy and kbin, if that's what you're wondering, is that kbin also has support for microblogging, which allows it to connect to the rest of the Fediverse.

Yeah I know, but there are so many more projects out there that we haven't even heard of. Guess I need to go exploring. :)

Interesting thing about the Misskey story is that there’s a decent amount of activity around forking it for western users.

See firefish or calckey as recent attempts with sharkey and iceshrimp being even more recent.

I hope one these gets off of the ground. Talk is that the recent Misskey update (v13) properly fixed some performance improvements which the new forks are hoping to leverage.
