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.

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%)

I miss only two things atm. Maybe i did not find it?
There's been an uptick in chatter about #Calckey of late, leading to several very enjoyable chats with people this morning, so I thought I'd share my current setup to let you see one of the reasons I treat this as my Primary account.
It's the visuals. It's clean, oh so simple, and just...pretty, you know? Highly subjective, this kind of thing, but I do like my Pretties. What you'll also note is I've themed my browser, Vivaldi, to match Calckey! I even https://themes.vivaldi.net/themes/rwjvEjrPJAL for others to enjoy.
This is now a place that I genuinely enjoy visiting to hang out in, and that's even before https://calckey.social/notes/9dtxylzbf9. Mastodon on the web by comparison feels cold, austere and a touch clunky (I suspect that's why there are so many apps) and yes I'm aware of Elk which is better but still not quite as pleasant and graceful as this (though Elk is still in Alpha, tbf).
My screenshot also shows off #Vivaldi 6.0s brand-spanking new Workspaces feature (right-most panel) whereby I can now segregate tabs into discrete groups over and above their already brilliant Tab Stacks feature - I click on the word Social at the top there and there are two more hidden away from view (Gaming, and the default). Yes, I have my Tabs at the right-hand side, like my Linux/KDE taskbars.
It's a lovely day outside so I hope it's the same where you are and that you get some time out in it. Happy Fridays, everyone.
Hier im Podcasts ab ca. Min. 15 werden auch noch mal von @Lioh einige Hintergründe zum Fediverse berichtet, an dem sie auch selbst aktiv mitentwickelt hat (auch sehr aufschlussreich in Bezug auf die aktuellen Zentralisierungs-Tendenzen im Fediverse)
Für alle Themen und Projekte gilt aber: gnulinux.ch ist ein Community-Projekt, an dem alle eingeladen und aufgerufen sind, mitzuwirken und selbst zu schreiben: gnulinux.ch/mitschreiben
Je mehr Perspektiven hier eingebracht werden, desto besser! @Kaiteki@caos
I'm pretty sure that the #Fediverse is one of the first social networks I've been on that didn't ever ask me to betray any of the people in my address book.
#Calckey has some excellent ideas; I need to explore them more. But I'm afraid I'll return to Mastodon by then.
I don't need new trinkets since everything is connected, and essential communication is executed well. Additional emojis or advanced search options aren't something I need as a user.
Plus, #MetalheadClub is on Mastodon, and this community is 🔥 !
Realized that my tinkering with #GoToSocial, #Takahe, #CalcKey and #Snac2, continuing to use #Pixelfed, #Lemmy and #Bookwyrm, and looking for compatibility problems are part of the same impulse that had me trying out every web browser I could find in the early 2000s and deliberately using Firefox and Opera on Linux as my daily drivers instead of IE on Windows.
It's a drop in the ocean, but it's my push for interoperability over #monoculture.
CalcKey is awesome but currently almost no mobile apps support it. It runs fine in a mobile browser but sometimes you miss having a dedicated client for it.
Give https://kaiteki.app/ a try. It's still in Alpha but honestly day-to-day its stable and does the job with little fuss.
It's built for MissKey, CalcKey's poppa, but handles CalcKey very well too, as far as I can tell. It seems to be a simple web app, without...any...settings once you get logged in, but that invisibility just lets CalcKey do all the shining. ☺️
Oh, and Kaiteki means "comfortable/comfy" in Japanese and so far that seems very apt. (Apped, geddit?) #CalcKey#MissKey#Kaiteki
If we want the network of apps to grow, developers needs to talk together and find consensus. This initiative looks like it's moving in the right direction!
