Akkomane is an alternative to and that provides incredible stability with a beautiful and futuristic Twitter-like front-end for the .

This is what the UI/UX of akkomane.social looks like.

It’s mostly stock Mangane, but I’ve made adjustments. Primarily, I changed the colours to an attractive blue and purple theme.

I’ve also changed the default logo to make it more apparent that akkomane.social is based on Akkoma.

You can use both dark and light themes with akkomane.social too.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews Is there a deck UI?

atomicpoet,
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org avatar

@shoq @fediversenews No built-in deck UI. However, you can use akkomane.social with the Whalebird client – which will provide you with a deck UI.

Well, it's just a fork of @soapbox frontend

Can you use akkomane.social with any clients? Absolutely! The following clients work smoothly with akkomane.social:

  • Sora
  • Fedilab
  • Tusky
  • Whalebird
  • Phanpy

You can even use akkomane.social with Mastodon.

That’s right! You can use akkomane.social with Mastodon’s Android and iOS clients!

@atomicpoet @fediversenews Looks good, Chris!

@tassoman @fediversenews Soapbox isn’t usable with Akkoma. And even if it were, most people that use Akkoma wouldn’t use Soapbox.

This is not the point. The point is goes beyond rivalry between people. There's no meaning to exclude some people when the value is the source code.

@atomicpoet You’ve got me interested in Akkomane. I’d really like to decrease my hosting costs.

I’m currently running Mastodon. Does it have Mastodon-style migration where I can move my followers to another server? 🤞🏻

atomicpoet,
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org avatar

@leopardboy Yes, it does! I have successfully migrated from firefish.city to atomicpoet.org, which is my Akkomane server.

If you want to test drive Akkomane and see how you like it, feel free to register an account on akkomane.social.

If you’d like to check out akkomane.social before signing up, I encourage you to check out the Federated timeline!

@atomicpoet @fediversenews Can't sign up due to the capcha not providing a visual alternative. I am not looking to host my own though so you would probably not get to me for a while. Thought you should know though! Looks like a cool project.

gabboman,

@atomicpoet you should try wafrn i accept insults, prs and drugs

atomicpoet,
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org avatar

@objectinspace I appreciate your interest too!

By the way, I also loathe CAPCHAs but since there’s a spam problem on the Fediverse, I need to be careful about who I let in. 🙁

If you still want an account on akkomane.social, please let me know and I can provide an alternative means to get you started.

atomicpoet,

@gabboman Funny enough, I was just looking through that last night. Shows great potential.

Have you thought about some sort of Tumblr migration process?

objectinspace,
@objectinspace@freeradical.zone avatar

@atomicpoet Thanks that's very kind! I will take one, if you are offering. I am mostly just looking for a place to post from that supports quotes and markdown that also federates with Threads. My current instance does not do these things. I am still happy where I am though, and since threads does not federate both ways, it is not a priority yet for me to be active there. So I would probably not be the kind of power user you are looking for at this stage. But if you don't mind, I don't mind! :)

gabboman,

@atomicpoet bringing tumblr file should be interesting

tassoman,
@tassoman@orwell.fun avatar

@husky is much better than Tusky while using a Pleroma's fork as fedi server. For example, it supports chat and emoji reactions you can't have on mastodon

leopardboy,
@leopardboy@netmonkey.xyz avatar

@atomicpoet Cool, thanks! I will check it out. I'm also curious to see how well Ivory works with it since you mentioned that Mastodon clients ought to be able to work.

leopardboy,
@leopardboy@netmonkey.xyz avatar

@atomicpoet Ah, good to know. Thanks! I'm not opposed to trying another client.

atomicpoet,
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org avatar

@leopardboy It does not work well with Ivory since Ivory is very insistent about only being compatible with Mastodon.

Other Mastodon clients work, however, including Mastodon’s official client.

@Damon@pebble.social avatar

@atomicpoet @leopardboy correct I believe Chris put a list of clients it works well with. If you prefer iOS it works with Maser, Feditext (beta), Fedicat (beta) and Sora
