I turned it on a couple of weeks ago and nothing happened but today I'm watching cherry blossom falling as I type this which is very lovely, reminding me of the garden full of flowering cherry trees I once had. 🥰
This past month, as many of you know, the Fediverse was attacked by those who would see harm to come to the Fediverse. These people wanted to disrupt the social media experience, you have come to enjoy
Now that the crisis is over, your local admin of your local Mastodon, Misskey, Sharkey, Pixelfed, and other platforms on the Fediverse are now stuck with the extra bandwidth and data cost
February is a short month, and unfortunately, much of the Fediverse was attacked this month, leaving many server admins with a costly bill now that the crisis is over.
If you're enjoying your Mastodon, Misskey, Sharkey, Pixelfed, or other platform, perhaps consider making a donation this month.
So... Does the ListenBrainz integration in #sharkeydo anything? I've got my username in the field for it but I haven't noticed anything related to ListenBrainz pop up on my profile even after adding listens and stuff
Why is the default way for word mutes to display on #Sharkey and how do I get it to show me which filter triggered the hiding? On ice shrimp, it would say (for example) "someone said /NSFW/" if it matched my /NSFW/ word mute
This only applies in #Mastodon. #Misskey and its forks like #Sharkey have #fulltextsearch too and they will ignore your "#privacy setting" for every post it has ever seen from you. And IIRC Misskey did implement full-text search way earlier than Mastodon has started debating about it. :sagume_think:
Why did this debate of full-text search arose again? :seija_coffee:
Testing #Bluesky out, but it’s obvious that #Sharkey is just more fleshed out - neither are close to perfect but Sharkey (and likely other Fedi apps) are definitely closer (imo). Very jealous of them having an official mobile client though. I remember hopping on #Firefish from #Mastodon, and there was hype from the FF team that they are looking to commission for an official FF mobile client or at least for support in a general client - that official client never came in the end even after FF’s death today. Dk if it’s Sharkey’s plan to be like Mastodon and have an official mobile client eventually.
Why I picked Sakurajima dot Social is because when looking for a Sharkey instance I found many of the other instances (servers) were not in English, were out of date (software), were extensively moderated, were slow loading, and de-federated so many other instances (servers) that it seemed like they had no interest in being part of the Fediverse.
Meanwhile, here on Sakurajima dot Social, the admin seems relaxed (not heavy-handed), so long as you follow the rules (easy enough, since I can easily sum up the rules as simply, don't be a jerk, which is fair), the software is kept up to date, the site is fast, and the instance (server) is well federated as part of the Fediverse. -- This is a good instance to join. 😄
I could sing #Sharkey praises for days but the absolutely nicest thing to my 'sweet spot' tuned brain is how quick and responsive it is in daily operation. After the lag of earlier forks I appreciate that so much. 🥰
Long Live the Shork! #IShonkDis :Blobhaj_Ani_Hearts:
Apparently, Tumblr's CEO stepped on his crank and outed himself as a TERF. We does not abide the TERF. No we doesn't.
If you're fleeing #Tumblr and checking out the #fediverse, welcome! I hope you find a home here. You have quite a few options with #Mastodon, #Miskey, #Firefish#Sharkey (I'm posting this from sharkey.world), and the practically thousands of instances within those. Each have their own flavor and features, so don't feel you have to settle on one off the bat. It's not unusual to see new users sign up on one instance, then eventually move to another, then another before they find the community that fits them best.
Looking for something more "bloggy"? Bear Blog and Pika are two services offering simple blogging tools with an emphasis on "small blogging". They are unassociated with the major blogging platforms and offer a fresh alternative to them.
There needs to be apps for #iceshrimp, #misskey, #sharkey, #catodon, and any other misskey forks that support reactions and full push notifications on iOS. While the webapp im using on my iceshrimp instance is okay, it cannot be a permanent solution.
Or, it would be great if @IceCubesApp supported push notifications for iceshrimp/misskey forks, but i'm guessing its a server side issue :P

I could not login today because the sign in pop up got under Ai's chest.
I reloaded and restarted browser, invalidated cache a lot but it did not help. I deleted the picture in the inspector but it was not just the picture, popup was at the very bottom layer of the interface and did not receive any clicks or keyboard focus.
I ended up deleting all of the front page interface until only login popup remained, and then I could login. #sharkey
Fyra Labs, the makers of Ultramarine Linux, were the ones who were tracking down who the Fediverse spammers were and making it known so the authorities could deal with them.
Looks like the spam is fully done now that the person behind it was caught. Though this can happen again very easily in the future. I hope this brings some new updates for softwares like Mastodon/Misskey/Sharkey to deal with spam like that better!
Sharkey / Misskey really need to improve the scroll bar for web browsers. It is the same color as the website, no matter what theme, making it nearly invisible, and they've used some CSS to make it so thin, I think they were trying to hide it altogether.
Finding this server using #Sharkey and discovering the migration has repaired all of the issues that forced me to move elsewhere, has really given my mood a lift on a difficult day so far (Work, don't ask).
I have missed Blahaj. I think I'm going to shut the other account and come back here full time. 🥰🤗 Keeping this account open has proven to be another great lesson about the value of patience. 😉
Hello again #Fediverse, I may need your #fedihelp. So, here's a list of the Fediverse software I'm about to make temporary accounts for to test all the features and differences:
So, did I miss anything noteworthy? Does anyone have any tips or recommendations before I choose a server for any one of these? I'll probably be going for the most popular server on each for improved federation and maintenance.
Note: I'm using #Sharkey right now and Misskey forks are already overrepresented, so that's why it's not included.
Ich werde jetzt immer mal wieder die Firefish Instanzen mit aufnehmen, die ein aktuelles Update eingespielt haben.
Bei https://firefish.fediverse.observer/list kann man die übrigens daran erkennen, dass unter Ausführung (Version) 0.0.0.0 angezeigt wird. Scheinbar kann der Observer nicht damit umgehen, dass es zwei Arten von Versionsnummern gibt.
The increased spam bots have show that misskey instances lack moderation tools to deal with massive spam campaigns, we will be looking into improving instance moderation tools in #sharkey, to maybe get them as powerful as Akkoma MRF or atleast close
