    Great. I always wondered why they decided on calckey, it always just sounded like a third-rate calculator found on Google Play. I really like the new logo.

    Can anyone ELI5 what the difference is between Mastodon and Firefish? Are they basically the same but a different instance similar to sh.itjust.works vs lemmy.world?

      It’s sort of like the difference between Lemmy and Kbin, they’re different websites that share the same concept and can communicate with one another.

        Yep! And they have different styling & feature sets that some may prefer, like Firefish has full text search & quoting posts unlike Mastodon for a super basic yet big difference.

        There’s also a bunch of other features I haven’t dug into much that are interesting, like “antennae” for following words/hashtags and widgets for a variety of things. I don’t know how well they all work, but overall it’s aiming to be much more robust than Mastodon.

          quoting posts unlike Mastodon

          what happens when a Firefish user quotes a post and it federates to Mastodon? Is the quote lost?

            Not sure tbh…It may be, or it may try to convert it to a link to the quoted post instead.

    Oh thank goodness, I could hardly think of a worse name than Calckey for a social media service.

    In all seriousness, glad to see them growing. Hope to see them succeed!

    Calckey (or Firefish now I guess) is a really great product, its much more customisable than Mastodon in look and feel, it’s easy to create site-wide themes for example.

    OK, that’s some cool branding, and some cooler features. I love how the OSS community social media services are building off of each other, and improving.

    Have heard good things re: customization and layout. Any support for Lemmy/kbin? Seems they’re aiming to cover most fediverse platforms.
