Is https://firefish.social usually so slow? Was looking to see how things changed since I last heard about it and man that instance is SUPER slow to load everything, is this an instance issue or a firefish issue?
@Arataka at the moment it seems to be a dead instance. Too many problems too often with an admin distracted by other things now and not actively maintaining the instance.
Unless there’s contrary information and I’m out of the loop I’d say stay away and consider firefish to be a bit more hype than it’s worth. Other Misskey forks are out there.
@maegul Ah, yeah I was looking to mess around with some other federated software, I might see how Sharkey is seeing that is also uses the Mastodon API which is a must if you want to use any good mobile apps lol.
@Arataka yep I’ve heard others talk about sharkey too.
Blahaj devs are moving to sharkey I think which is probably a good sign.
Don’t know where iceshrimp is up to but it’s still being worked on AFAIU.
TBH it would be nice if a major misskey fork for English/western-lang speakers could be settled on and provide a stable alternative on the Fedi. Hopefully the effect of firefish will be to have established awareness.
