What is Calckey?

Calckey is a fork of the Japanese software Misskey, which uses the ActivityPub standard and is a part of the fediverse. Calckey is feature rich, customizable & even supports migrating from mastodon to calckey.

Why?

After the vulnerability in Lemmy was discovered and we temporarily went down to protect our users, there was no warning announcement or post for updates which left a lot of users confused. To prevent future miscommunication some of you suggested we create a mastodon account or something similar for updates. So we went ahead and created a Calckey account.

How do I follow?

You can follow us from any public calckey instance(very.bignutty.xyz is private) or even mastodon! Just search @FMHY@very.bignutty.xyz

P.S We chose Calckey over Mastodon because it has better UI, it's light on resources & has a lot of customization features.

The real reason why fmhy chose Calckey instead of Mastodon is very obviously the hot furry mascot.

Of course that's not true, trust me guys!!!

Edit: also that's a bird lmao

I don't care what it is, it looks very fuckable.

Just spit out my tea all over today's todo list. Thanks, I needed that laugh.

Meh, different strokes for... Ah, hell, that wasn't quite the similie I wanted given the context...

Furry is a bit of a misnomer, anthropomorphic animals of any kind are furry. There’s sub-labels for different types though like ‘scalie’ for reptiles. I’ve taken to calling birds ‘avians’ because ‘featheries’ doesn’t flow as well

There is also something in settings called “Are you a cat?.

[-] kuna@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

It adds cats ears on the profile pic and converts avery 'na' in your posts to 'nya'. I think it's a generic feature on Misskey forks (or at least it's also on Foundkey).

Arguably, if that were the motivation, they could just as easily have landed on MissKey. That one is, to MK's credit, human :)

MK also seems to have originated in Japan, so the mascot at https://misskey-hub.net/en/ is not at all unexpected.

Edit: And pretty damn tame as these things go lol

I looked at misskey but calckey was more appealing so went for it.

[-] IdleSheep@lemmy.pt 2 points 1 year ago

I used misskey for like a year before switching to calckey and can't recommend it enough. Misskey has a lot of questionable choices (like you still can't click on notes to open them like every other software, or the sub-par mobile interface) and it's also the only *key that doesn't support note editing despite everything else supporting it. All in all calckey provides a much better experience.

[-] KurtKnocks@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

What if calckey goes down? 🧌

[-] Kaizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

It won't lol, @taskylizard@lemmy.fmhy.ml hosts it.

[-] Sabakodgo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Following, thanks!

[-] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I didn't expect it to be useful so soon haha. Also, I hate the twitter like interface. I can't figure out anything and it feels so weird to use. Link aggregators FTW.
