Just a headsup for any server admins running Firefish, apparently it is no longer being maintained. One of the core developers of Firefish has written about the situation in the link provided.
We partly moved to ice shrimp, but it was quite divergent from Hajkey, and after being burnt by our Calckey experience, we lost a lot of momentum and energy, so it’s sort of sat there in a mostly working state, not ice shrimp and not Hajkey for a while now.
Once we’re both back from South America though, we’ll do a migration to Sharkey (a direct soft fork of Misskey). After that, Kaity will look at gradually adding our Hajkey specific features directly in to Sharkey where possibly.
You’re not. The only people who need to know are instance admins choosing what platform to run. If you’re not an admin you can deep dive as much or as little as you like in to the differences between the forks!
Why does everyone and their mom rather make their own fork than to work together?
It’s both of those things. This stuff is all open source. For our fork, Hajkey for example, we added the stuff that we wanted that wasn’t anywhere else. We’d also submit our changes to Calckey (which would later rename to Firefish due to a name clash) if the Calckey team wanted them. Some they did (like translation, post editing etc) and some they didn’t (such as our timeline filters).
So we were doing our own thing and working together.
Sharkey does the same thing, but they feed back in to Misskey.
And as a user, if that’s too much to bother with, well, most of the differences are minor and you can just ignore it all, and pick your preferred instance for other reasons
Admins know which forks are which and what benefit they bring because they’re active in spaces talking about this stuff, and often talking to other admins.
A first time admin with no real Fediverse experience won’t end up running any of those forks.
Do different characters sound different or is there one ‘voice’ that acts as a narrator?
Neither. I think of the idea of the words, rather than hearing the words in my mind. Which is to say, though I can read a sentence and string together the words I read in my mind, the l there is no voice to those words, no gender, no accent, no volume etc.
Hey girls! I recently started my social transition, and i’ve been thinking about names. I know not everyone uses a different name during/after their transition, but i think i want to. How did you find your name, and how did you know it was the right one?...
Happy First Birthday Blåhaj Lemmy!
Today is the first Lemmy cake day for @supakaity and myself, which means that it’s a year since Blåhaj Lemmy went live!...

Why do we have an internal monologue?
What is it for?
How did you choose your name?
