Hi all, just kicking the tires here ... I wanted to give #firefish a try after the rebranding from #CalcKey and subsequent updates but definitely didn't want to jump onto an "official instance" ;)
I've been active on the #fediverse since 2018 and loving life outside of the corporate walled gardens.
Quick question, what mobile apps do you all prefer for #firefish on android? Win Desktop?
❓ Welche App "kann" Firefish und Mastodon (und am liebsten auch Friendica)?
Ich bin immer noch auf der Suche nach dem für mich idealen "Blogging"-Dienst im Fediverse. Deshalb probiere ich neben #Mastodon z.Z. #Firefish (ehemals #Calckey) und #Friendica aus. Langsam werden meine Accounts etwas unübersichtlich. Auf dem Desktop nutze ich die Web-Apps, unter Android #Tusky und #Kaiteki. Gibt es eine App, die alle meine Dienste unter einen Hut bringt?
Are there any #fediverse platforms that don't compress or others ruin image uploads? #mastodon reduces many images to under 2000 pixels in either direction, usually in the 1600-1800 range from what I've seen.
Does anyone know of lightweight web frontends for #Calckey or #Firefish or whatever they're calling themselves now? Kinda like #Pinafore for #Mastodon. It just feels so atrociously heavy here on Firefox Android.
I gotta admit, Misskey is kinda fun and fresh compared to the Calckey stuff. I feel like #calckey / #firefish / #iceshrimp / whatever else forks all kinda went more for a focused, simple, English-language software while Misskey wanted to be different and have a little fun, not worrying about the people who say "THIS IS BLOATTTTT AAAAA"
they have shown a tremendous amount of disrespect and falsehood, eventually even daring to publicly attack me with false accusations, only to limit my acc on stop.voring.me to the home timeline without further note > when this happened some months ago, i was laughing because it felt like kindergarten edition of fedi drama
what is worse: back then, t1c threw overboard the principle not to federate with government-run instances, and t1c declared zero interest in the rise of fascism in germany, thereby giving leeway to apologetic posts on their instance calckey.social (now firefish.social)
when i started donating, i felt both happy and proud to support a small fediverse project which had managed to attract contributors and creators from all over the world > when i learned that t1c would occasionally face problems receiving donations in currencies other than usd, i ensured to donate in usd btw
i have felt for quite some time that the calckey/firefish community is not the right place for me, and i am saddened by the direction which the calckey/firefish project has taken #fediverse#calckey#firefish
@don über Antennen werden aber schon auch #Lemmy-Beiträge in #Firefish gefunden (war in #Calckey und #Foundkey auch schon so). generell föderiert es allerdings leider mit Lemmy nicht gut, was allerdings wohl an Lemmy liegt. @privateger hatte mal Genaueres rausgefunden
I couldn't update the Calckey instance. I kept getting all sorts of errors so I decided to just rebuild the server and attach the database to it, pray that it was compatible, and here we are. Long day.
Thanks @kainoa for creating this fantastic software!
#Firefish, née #Calckey, has issues, unfortunately. Most times I try to use my account now on firefish.social there is something that goes wrong, or is too slow to be useable. Like right now. Refreshing the home timeline produces just internal errors.
A small group of people were offended by a joke that unintentionally came across transphobic, and as a result this persons account was blacklisted. Even after getting the account reinstated, there were lasting complications with the state of the account (these probably technical issues) and the account was basically lost for...
Wondering if with the transition from #CalcKey to #FireFish, the backend to restore posts from a #Pleroma / #Akkoma backup is finally working. (Last time I tried, the system got stuck hard) @thatonecalculator@kainoa
"Your server’s administrators are responsible for moderation and for keeping your local community safe, and of course as a user you get tools to block/mute or report anyone possibly harassing you. But the Fediverse is in general a much safer and friendlier space than most mainstream social media, because moderation is handled by real people caring about their communities, instead of bots or overworked employees."
