    Is Firefish the same thing as Calckey?

    I created a Calckey account a couple of weeks ago but it was basically a weird Mastodon with even fewer people from what I could tell.

      Important to note, the fewer people should not significantly restrict your experience. Everything is part of the same network.

        Good point. I did follow a few accounts I already follow on Mastodon. But then I thought “I have a Mastodon account already… Why am I doing this?”

        And the Emojis instead of starring a post was throwing me off.

        edit: I see there is a star online now. Maybe it was just the Kimis app that was weird.

          The apps have definitely been the biggest thing holding me back. Kaiteki seems perfect but also broken on my phone right now :/

      Yes, it’s just a rebrand. It’s similar to Mastodon in some ways but with many many more features.

      It’s federated so you can follow and interact with all the same Mastodon people.

      Problem is it’s not super stable and the federation doesn’t work too well…

        Very interesting to read people’s experiences, as I don’t have any first hand experience. I’ve just seen enthusiastic content from users and figured it was a better fit for some people.

        Might be a bit too much on the bleeding edge still - not entirely unlike kbin and Lemmy. Would you say that it’s rough enough that you wouldn’t currently recommend it to people?
