Yeah somewhere between twitter and facebook clone, more like Mastodon. But open-source and federated, like Lemmy.
Mastodon is open source and federated.
Ahh yes I meant as opposed to Twitter and Facebook. But I worded it badly 😁
Cool, nice with more options. :)
Kinda like Mastodon (micro-blog site) but with way more functionality and super-confusing feature names.
Unfortunately none of the -keys that I know of allow you to follow hashtags so it's an instant nonstarter for me.
I'm not a fan of the misskey forks because most of them are very buggy and have very bloated UIs. I tried Iceshrimp and hajkey and both were terribly buggy. Sharkey was okay but still very buggy, biggest issue by far is the fact that follow attempts typically hang for long amounts of time if they even go through at all. Not sure if it's a frontend issue though or an issue with the software itself, I tried Sharkey's Mastodon API to use the Mastodon app and it seems to work okay there. I still wouldn't trust it over mastodon which is much more polished and stable.
There are some cool features in it like the cat ears, the gallery, and very robust theming elements, but ultimately stability and usability come first for social platforms I'm going to use seriously
Yeah we need a fork that cuts out the bloat and adds hashtag following 😂
follow hashtags
its the function called Antennas.
That's not the same thing.
I've never used it but it is my understanding that it pretty much the same thing with more functionality.
It's not. It's a different thing with different functionality. You can't follow hashtags and it doesn't work properly.
Which one as the best potential :
(between Lemmy, Mastodon or Sharkey)
1-for users,
2-for moderators,
3-for administrators,
4-for developers ?
For moderators surely Mastodon. For admins too.. For users: that's a taste-thing. I'm not a developer so can't say...
The question doesn't make sense. They are projects with different purposes. and what kind of potential you are asking? popularity, ease of use, mass market, etc?
The instance works really well :)
Epic!
