People who wants to try something novel and new (awesome!)
People who want to run their own Akkomane server and want to try it before they install (yay!)
People who are on a server that de-federates Threads, know akkomane.social hasn't de-federated Threads, and want to follow people on Threads (fascinating!)
Pretty sure it all died. Kainoa ran a personal instance for non official social too and that domain expired last I checked.
Presumably because they had more important things to do (and I hope they’re ok) they dropped the Fedi entirely.
Which is a lesson about indie projects, has certainly burnt me from trying new platforms, but also rather sad as there was a vibe on calckey (yes, before the rebrand), prob the best I’ve seen on the fedi by a long margin.
@maegul@christophertrottier I was wondering if there might have been an issue with the existing company or product named firefish. I was surprised that that was the rebrand of calckey after a quick search turned that up for me.
Nah, AFAICT, it was all the lead dev going a bit off the rails (ie made questionable choices about managing the instance) and then walking.
The instance became dysfunctional. Like even for a volunteer run instance/project. People started walking away and then so did kainoa. AFAIK they haven’t surfaced in ages and life getting in the way was a major factor (where they were primarily an unemployed student most of the time calckey was developed).
