There’s a South Park episode where they use “Emoji Analysis” to determine the identities of internet trolls. I am not original commenter but I laughed when I read their comment because indeed this research is a bit similar to the trend analysis they do in that episode.

I agree with you personally, but it’s the second most used platform after Facebook I think so it does have an insanely massive userbase.

What are you talking about? Trending isn’t even working right now… sources please.

Here’s a page with some features https://firefish.social/@youronlyone/pages/calckey-faq

Probably more important are features such as channels and pages which are more like Facebook or MySpace. People have compared it to Tumblr because you can completely customize the interface. I hope it intros some more people to programming

It does everything Mastodon does but more, honestly. I use both, and definitely prefer Firefish. But I’m a developer so a lot of things about Mastodon really bothered me. The core difference is Firefish fka Calckey is being developed much faster and with a more modern stack. The click to play MFM feature was developed in a few days when the community was concerned about potential seizures due to unasked for auto playing or animated text.

A few key features: QT & Full text search (search I don’t use except for specific posts so can’t speak to that) MFM & cat mode (these are just fun, Misskey flavored markdown has things like tada and sparkle and rainbow. People make art with it)

Huh interesting. I immediately had a positive reaction to the name because of this. Love Firefox. already loved Calckey err I mean Firefish though so I suppose I am not objective.

It really conveys the open and user control centric nature of the project. An homage to the fox. You have now not just the fox but the fish with which you can tame the raging fires of the web. Fish makes more sense than fox too cause the web is like an ocean. Idk just thoughts

Imo more people would use them if they were called something clearer. Saved search. Custom timeline or feed. Something like that. But yeah they are awesome

Yes. It completely took over my home timeline doing this.

We desperately need more fine grained control.

Whoops didn’t mean to delete my post - was editing and accidentally deleted.

Thank you! I have Mlem and indeed there are filters in the settings.

Omg of course! I have Mlem set up. And indeed it does have filters in the settings.

I guess I’ve been using the web app and Wefwef PWA more than Mlem but this is probably reason enough for me to use it over others - until they hopefully build it in too!

Thank you.

Edit: Looks like it’s a hard filter only – fine by me.

I love it. It’s good beehaw doesn’t allow downvoting though because I accidentally would be downvoting a lot as I try and swipe back

Begun the ad wars have

If you follow folks (shameless plug of myself - like me) on Calckey.social, which is I think a bigger server. That may help! When I moved to Calckey I transferred over everyone I was following on Mastodon

As long as it’s closed source there’s always the incentive to sell.

I’ve thought about and talked about this too! We need this!!! Letterboxd equivalent.

Yeehaw Beehaw!
