As of right now, firefish.social has been down for nearly 2 days upgrading and changing databases, as their data migration is taking longer than expected. 🤞

  They probably need to do their database migration on a computer with more memory.

  I had a migration that was still running after 16 hours. Finally just for fun I tried it on another server with 64 GB of RAM and it was done in 15 seconds.

  What is firefish.social?

    Federated microblogging platform, like Mastodon.

    To add to scytale's description, it's a fork of misskey that was formerly known as calckey

  I was really excited for firefish. Ditched my main Mastodon account in place of it and tried it out for a month. Aside from the slowness, and the constant downtime, I found the dev’s attitude off putting. I get it, you’re doing most of this yourself, you’re under pressure, and you have a regular life. But the constant negativity with the user base trying to figure out how this site worked was a turn off. Not sure how people are supposed to get excited about your project when you yourself seem to be annoyed by it.

  I moved to firefish.social from Mastodon partially because of how firefish boasted how superior they were over Mastodon and the lack of features. But there’s one feature Mastodon has working for it: Uptime

    You only have to look at the dev’s pinned posts on their Firefish account to see what you’re talking about.

    I’d asked the dev (on the official Firefish account) whether there would be a Docker release for the latest hotfix beta, and got a lecture and an “unamused” 😒 emoji reaction. That was kind of the last straw after dealing with some fairly broken federation on my selfhosted Firefish server.

    So, I’m back on Mastodon after a month-long experiment with Firefish.

  The list of improvements does seem like a nice thing to wait for!
