What is Calckey?
Calckey is a fork of the Japanese software Misskey, which uses the ActivityPub standard and is a part of the fediverse. Calckey is feature rich, customizable & even supports migrating from mastodon to calckey.
Why?
After the vulnerability in Lemmy was discovered and we temporarily went down to protect our users, there was no warning announcement or post for updates which left a lot of users confused. To prevent future miscommunication some of you suggested we create a mastodon account or something similar for updates. So we went ahead and created a Calckey account.
How do I follow?
You can follow us from any public calckey instance(very.bignutty.xyz is private) or even mastodon!
Just search @FMHY@very.bignutty.xyz
P.S We chose Calckey over Mastodon because it has better UI, it’s light on resources & has a lot of customization features.
I used misskey for like a year before switching to calckey and can’t recommend it enough. Misskey has a lot of questionable choices (like you still can’t click on notes to open them like every other software, or the sub-par mobile interface) and it’s also the only *key that doesn’t support note editing despite everything else supporting it. All in all calckey provides a much better experience.
