  Damn shame, tbh. Out of all of them I really like the visuals and vibe of Firefish.

    Yeah it looked promising. Also a shame I never got to try it properly because it didn’t work for me from the start. Home timeline never loaded and errored out and I never got any kind of support response so gave up on it. Oh well.

    (Also, hi Harry in the wilds of Lemmy. 👋😂)

      Yeah it had a pretty rough ride at the start but when it worked, it was really nice tbh.

  Glad I held back from suggesting Firefish for my wife. I’ve been slowly trying to convince her to jump to the fediverse for microblogging and figured to have her try Firefish simply because it’s prettier than Mastodon. Guess it’s back to ol’ Mastodon.

    You can suggest Akkoma to her if you want a mastodon alternative.

      Thanks! I’ll check it out.

  For those who don’t know there is misskey-hub.net/en/

    Did the Misskey network not advise against e.g. EU people signing up because of legal reasons like GPDR? Anyway, Iceshrimp works very much as intended and has active development so that could be an alternative for some people (have no experience with Sharkey).

      I think that was specifically for misskey.io because some western users were breaking some sort of law. I never quite figured out the details. Misskey.io still doesn't let any IP from outside the China-Japan-Korea circle sign up. But there are some instances, that do, and some English language instances there as well.

      Also, misskey and the Japanese side of fedi, tend to tolerate "loli" content to a degree that other side doesn't. My main account is on a misskey server and I love it.

  RIP. Was on firefish a few months but saw the writing on the wall back then and jumped ship. In retrospect, probably the 3rd or 4th federated product I’ve been a user of that flamed out. WATTBA

    weird, ive never seen that acronym before to my knowledge, and yet still knew what it stood for. WATTBA!

  I tried Firefish but at no point in time did it ever actually work well. 85% of the content just wouldn’t load.

  • Peter1986C@lemmings.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It did when it was still called Calckey, but around the time of the rebranding their main server got into issues (Kainoa, the previous maintainer, was messing around with it to improve performance but that just broke things).

  I am especially sad because firefish was the first fedi project that I donated to. A lot of people had problems with firefish, but the server I was on was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, they server maintainers foresaw the demise of the software and decided to shut down early this year, on March.
