Firefish is a new Fediverse social platform with a beautiful design, cool features, and great tools for your feed. It has a lot of potential to grow.
Can anyone enlighten me regarding Firefish? I tried to pick a server and there are servers with "beta", "alpha", or nothing on their mini profile on the join page. Which one should I pick based on what?
Also, I'm still not quite sure abou the connection between firefish, calckey, and misskey. Are they the same thing? Honestly, I haven't done any research.
Misskey is a relatively old Fediverse platform (older than Mastodon, since 2015?). It is relatively widespread in Asia, especially Japan. Calckey was a fork of Misskey developed since 2021, which aimed to be more oriented towards European needs (e.g. a less manga style). In summer 2023, Calckey was renamed Firefish.
The servers: I think "alpha" is maybe the dev version and "beta" the older stable version? at least Firefish.social has alpha. Edit: Alpha =version 1.0.5, Beta = 1.0.4, without specification = 1.0.3 - this is how it looks after exemplary matching with Fediverse.observer
Thanks! No wonder there are a lot of Japanese servers there. I'll try making an account now :)
