@scratch There is a translate feature built in, but it requires that your instance have configured it, since it utilizes a a third-party service for the translation. You reach out to your instance admin to ask about it.

I think they were more comparing the userbase of Mastodon against its corporate-owned alternatives, not to other fediverse apps.

@jay91 Group support appears to be in the works. In the mean-time, people on Mastodon can still follow group accounts and those group accounts will boost posts into their followers’ feeds. For example, that’s how I saw this post to reply to.

@MayonnaiseArch There are extensions which make it easier to interact with remote instances, like Roam With Mastodon. https://fo.llow.social/roam

Not Mastodon, but supposedly built on ActivityPub and plans to open federation some time in the future.
