Calckey rebranded as Firefish, versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 released

Can someone provide or point me to a quick rundown of how Misskey and Calckey/Firefish differ?

I don't know all the differences since I didn't write code for the project so... here are the contributors' own words: https://codeberg.org/firefish/firefish/src/branch/develop/FIREFISH.md

Thanks!

Though I am realizing that much of this doesn’t make sense to me and probably only would if I had accounts on both Misskey and Firefish and were generally more familiar with both platforms…

Wait…

Can anyone give me a quick pitch of what this is? Another twitter-like but differing from mastadon? Like lemmy and kbin?

It has a lot more features compared to Mastodon - I made the switch and am happy with it so far.

Twitterlike but unlike Mastodon it has quote-tweets, themes, and the ability to add cat ears to your avatar.

I never got into twitter or mastadon so this might not be for me but it’s always good to see variety.

And the best part is they all talk to each other so there's no community splitting.

Unlike with Bluesky, where we can't talk to them.

Calckey is a Misskey (https://misskey.io/) fork, hence the name. Misskey is an extremely popular fediverse microblogging service from Japan with a lot of functionalities that Mastodon doesn't have (quote toot, emoji react, ...), in fact if you follow any Japanese accounts on Mastodon there is a good chance they are using Misskey instead

Basically Calckey diverged enough from Misskey (and I suspect Kainoa didn't like the name) that they agreed to rebrand. Kind of a big deal tbh

Oh cool. Thank you for filling me in. Maybe I’ll check it out.

Looking forward to (hopefully) getting better Docker support

zlatiah, 10 months ago

I hope so too! I'm self-hosting Calckey via docker right now, and having one ready-to-go docker was something I found quite nice with Calckey. I hope this continues to be the case with Firefish

mk.absturztau.be is also going to migrate (from foundkey)

GlennMagusHarvey, 10 months ago

I heard that foundkey’s development has stalled. I’m guessing we’re gonna see instances move from Foundkey to either Misskey or Firefish?
