Continuing my never-seen-before #BetterThanMastodon series here is reason number 348732 why any Misskey fork is just an overall more pleasant and fun experience than dry, dusty old Masto.

Seasonal Effects

Simply toggle a setting in Settings (the natural home of a Setting) and at odd times throughout the year your screen will delight you with a simple animation keyed to whatever time of year you find yourself in. Today, it started snowing. ​​

The video below shows the effect in action but please forgive the jerkiness of it - I can assure you that the effect is buttery smooth playing for real. The snow is also beautifully animated, just the right soft speed and actually drifting left and right now and again.

At present this feature only seems to have two, the beautiful snow here and falling cherry blossom in spring (to be expected given Misskey's Japanese origins) but even just these two offer a little unexpected magic into your social media experience, much like opening curtains to find it snowing for real...if you're someone who still has that child-like glee inside them.

What are you waiting for? Migrate to a Misskey fork today!
