Fully open source. Built with latest tools. Faster development and far more feature robust than Mastodon. Federated and self hostable. My favorite social media app out there right now and my bet in the future.
I'm kind of tempted to find a games related instance to join that doesn't use Mastodon & instead uses Misskey or Calckey/Firefish as some of their features appeal to me more.
I just need to dig around and see which instances might click with me, which is always the trick in this space.
@AudraTran@firefish what it means is that Calckey as a brand name is changing to #Firefish, with a new flagship instance, new code repository etc.. If you're not an admin it shouldn't change anything for you 😉
@AudraTran yeah you should be good, at some point you'll see the brand name Calckey disappear when they upgrade to the new version with new branding, it will bring a bunch of bug fix and that's it, shouldn't impact more than that 😉
A big hello and welcome to all the new people who've joined #blahajzone the past couple of days. It's great to have you here!
Our admins are @ada and @supakaity.
Ada leads the front of house and moderation side of Blåhaj Zone, while Kaity leads the back-end and maintains Hajkey for us & a small group of other instances.
We also have a #Lemmy server available for signups at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone and a #kbin server that's soon to be open, for those looking for #Reddit - like communities. They can also be interacted with from here or other places in the Fediverse.
Antennas.
Antennas are effectively custom timelines. They work approximately like watching hashtags, but they can look for normal text as well. You can add as many phrases as you like and the results can be filtered with an ignore list.
You can make an antenna that just shows posts from specific users and notifies you when they post something new, you can make an antenna that collects posts containing or excluding certain key words, or you can make an antenna that collects only posts with files attached. You can even make an antenna consisting of “Posts from specific users” with “Show replies” checked.
Setting up
You can set up antenna by going to the More! section on your sidebar, and selecting Antennas. Press Add + to create your first. This is where you can also manage & edit previously created antennas.

My antennas page showing Add + button and my previously created antennas.
4 & 5) When you click Add + you get this page to set up your antenna. I've set one up as my Calckey antenna and another to alert me when PastaThief posts. There's a lot to go through here. Expect a separate post sometime soon.
6 & 7) What those antenna feeds look like.
On our progressive web app you can access your antennas by selecting the UFO in the top right corner.
Clicking on the UFO button brings up all my antennas and the link to manage/edit them
@ada Ooh that's a good work around! I haven't played with Sharkey much either compared to our old Hajkey fork. Tbh, I have barely been on fedi this past week. @jahtnamas@lira
