I've seen there's various forks of Mastodon (Glitch, Hometown and possibloy others), plus there's Calckey, Misskey, Akkoma and others i'm forgetting that are similar enough.
Do we have guides on what's the difference *for the users*? Not for the admins, but for the users? Haven't found much yet and was wondering if there was an advantage of going for a server that isn't vanilla Mastodon
I hope this helps (as of mid-April, 2023). I’m using the one marked in red - was omitted from the list so took the liberty of adding it.

OK!.. I think newer Mastodon (or saw somewhere, has self-destructing media that can be be set and then it disappears - any comments on this welcome anyone?) but I guess if you had lots of users then media does add up (I make my stuff less than 1000K usually... or less than 1 floppy disk per post 
And I'll stay in my lane with the basic Mastodon for now for Fediverse in and out box interface for humans and even wait until for my suggestion of "ActivityPub email" to be done (!) to merge the messages in and out with a kind of mail front end even if at start doesn't connect to non-Fedi stuff :) ✉️ :fediverse:
See info here on that idea https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108521437249228849
Above is not officially sent as I decided a while back that "Mastodon" should have Mastodon feedback possible on Mastodon itself!!
But back to the email idea, a few people said "yeah!" and seemed qualified to say the Fediverse email idea wasn't so bad! (Also as an anti-Google monopoly thing makes effort to change that balance they have crushingly and spy on everyone)
Imagine our own mail.. and social !? :) Call it Fediverse+ ? or Fedimail? :) 💭
(a reply or two might have got deleted but anyway I got it and read them)
(a copy below)
"Not just lots of users but even for a single singe user. I was the sole user when I started out and within less than a week, my server's disk space shot to 1GB. Being new to the Fediverse (and of course, how Mastodon works), I was shocked..haha!
Oh, I forgot to mention the other task of tweaking Sidekiq (did I spell that right?)."
