Here's a feature comparison of Calckey and Mastodon.

This handy chart not only compares Calckey with Mastodon, but all the well-known Fediverse microblogging software with each other.

But a chart can only tell you so much. If you really want to know what makes Calckey different from Mastodon, you have to try it.

@atomicpoet Huh‽ & have search.

Misskey turns their off by default (you can easily turn it on within settings) & Mastodon requires you to implement the code on your instance. I use search on both of my solo instances.

Misskey does not have an official app, but replicates most (if not all) of the options on the web interface (something most official apps on other platforms can not do yet).

@DuncanWatson @atomicpoet Yeah, you have to enable within : https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/elasticsearch/

You can ask the admin of the Mastodon instance to install it as it is very useful. I wish it was enabled by default but I think it is intentionally left out.

An update on improving search in "a few dozen languages":

https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/04/28/language-harmony-and-unpacking-a-year-in-the-life-of-a-search-nerd/

"Big wiki projects have text in a lot of different languages—which use several dozen writing systems—as well as technical symbols, uncommon character variants, and all kinds of “interesting” formatting and typography. As much as possible, we want that kind of thing to be transparent to searchers."

Just enabled the default search on my instance. Needs 16GB of RAM but it's totally worth it.

here's the final iteration of my Mastodon advanced search patch: https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/pull/8

this enables full-text search for posts you haven't interacted with, as well as full-text search for accounts, and includes several advanced filtering operators and parser fixes.

vyr,

and here's the Glitch variant of the advanced search patch, which adds the new search reference screen to the Glitch UI flavor: https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/pull/9
