I’m trying to figure out if there’s content there you can’t access via Mastodon or what’s the catch. They say it’s not ActvityPub compatible yet however it’s still somehow up so what’s going on.

looking at the app it seems it’s launched with just local content feed with a promise of being mastodon compatible in the future. I guess specifically to generate some unqiue content so people join.
