It’s a different software, connecting you with the same communities and people. Just has slightly different features, a bit more control here and there, a few perks, has a different design philosophy and is written in an entirely different programming language, which affects participation, maintainability, resource usage… You can see how it looks for example on https://piefed.social I always struggle to describe the detailed differences, because there are a lot of them and it has a lot to do with what’s important to you and what you’re used to. It’s a bit like describing how a banana tastes IMO. You better have a look yourself.
