The instance fedi.software, where many fediverse apps have setup their brand accounts, is a Firefish instance run by the creator, who hasn’t been accessible in the past few weeks.
Two of their other instances are already either completely down or partially down. I’m hoping they just need a break and will be back soon.
Might be a good idea to pull some backups, just in case.
With big players like Flipboard, Wordpress, Ghost and Threads entering the fediverse, along with bridges to Bluesky and more….your choice of platform will be less about content (you’ll see it everywhere!) and more about the app experience and features you prefer. 🥳
#TIL that @semaphore (fork and continuation of Pinafore) can can support more than one account in the same browser. Check out a running example here: https://semaphore.social
Also that it may be able to function as a web app for Friendica, as well as Mastodon. I'm having a few teething problems, but I'm hoping that I can now flip over to my Friendica account to post long rants, and then flip back to my Mastodon account to boost them 😀
Been on the TestFlight of this one. @feeeed is incorporating content from everywhere. While the configuration options says “Mastodon Handle” any fediverse handle I’ve thrown at it works so far.
PeerTube. Lemmy. Firefish. IceShrimp. Friendica. Threads. All alongside blog feeds, Reddit, YouTube, news services, personal photos, birthday reminders and more. The only thing missing is the ability to interact - like or reply direct from the interface. ❤️🥳
First Impressions from #Calckey :
Very good!
Import of List and follows works great
Interface is interesting - a little bit to much "Information"
a lot of settings(thats good!)
2FA and HardwareKey function!
DarkMode and themes and much more.
Post Preview
extra place for Hashtags
And I love the "clock" I attached a picture of it:
AltText: Loading Bar Style with 3 Bars(Today 50,3%, Month 71,7%, Year 30,5%)
Fediverse
I miss only two things atm. Maybe i did not find it?
Right so there are quite a few bits and pieces in #calckey that are far from ideal. We now the good, it is time to point out the ugly:
Why can't we filter boosts? This renders any timeline unreadable if you follow more than 100 users.
Why can't we get help? With mastodon, people see you in the local timeline. You can ask info, but since problem 1 (boosts can't be hidden) means the local timeline is whatever local people boosts more than their own genuine thoughts, they can't see you asking for help.
Edit button. But it's coming.
Those are the 3 I've compiled so far. And the boosting issue is really getting on my nerves. SPECIALLY now that I've brought in all my follows/followers.
Push #notifications now available for #Calckey#iOS users using the #PWA.
If you update to iOS 16.4 and "add to home screen", that version (called a PWA) will have full notifications and background/offline support!
For those with the PWA already added, you may need to go into Settings> Notifications> and enable push notifications.
I’m getting the feeling my current (& excellent) mast/Fedi app isn’t going to be supported for long. Any suggestions for a great non-subscription IOS mast/fedi app?
Potentially knife question, but… Is there any client app that you can use to keep a list of videos from the Fediverse? I want to be able to create a queue of videos and then use that client to watch them, even if they come from different servers.
