I created a Sharkey instance... (sharkey.world)

Next to Mastodon.world and Lemmy.world I am also running Calckey.world. This was running Calckey, a Misskey fork. That was re-branded to FireFish (that's the danger of running sites with the software name in the URL... :-) ).

Unfortunately due to circumstances the FireFish software will no longer be maintained. Therefore I was looking for another Misskey fork that could replace it, and I found Sharkey. This looks really nice.

So being who I am, I registered https://sharkey.world and installed it. It still needs some configuring and branding, but it works and you can use it! (As you will see it currently uses the Calckey.world branding)

I will write a brief how-to on migrating from Calckey to Sharkey and hope the calckey.world users will migrate.

What is sharkey?

Looks like Twitter clone?

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

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 😁

Which one as the best potential :
(between Lemmy, Mastodon or Sharkey)
1-for users,
2-for moderators,
3-for administrators,
4-for developers ?

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

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?
