All accesses other than Mastodon restrict the user much less in the possibilities that the network offers.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any articles in English that can help you to easily understand the differences.
An automatic translation of this German article about #Firefish may be sufficient.
All services that have evolved from #Misskey are very similar in functionality and much more advanced than Mastodon will ever be.
Here is a nice comparison of Mastodon vs Friendica, another service in the Fediverse - https://poliverso.org/display/0477a01e-1166-b1d4-9046-d41146110438
It's very similar with the Misskey services
