Calckey, a fork of Misskey, has been in development for almost a year but now it's ready for general use! it features groups, quote posts, a custom Markdown implementation, chat, emoji reactions, and a whole bunch of quality-of-life features!

I do like it but i'm not sure i'll use it instead of another platform...I really like lemmy and it's link aggregatorness but Calckey's lack of a character limit makes it a viable alternative. Also that UI is HOT! (As are most worked on by freeplay)

you can have both :P

every community on Lemmy is followable on other fediverse platforms. this one is @fediverse@lemmy.ml, and you can follow it and receive new posts to here just like any other account you follow! you won't be able to up/downvote, but you can post here by mentioning @fediverse@lemmy.ml in your post. the first line of your post will be the title, and everything after that will be the body

The name is a really weird one. Sounds more like a spreadsheet than a social media application.

The lead dev goes by the handle ThatOneCalculator, which is where the name came from, back when it was a single person project :)

I have been using it for a bit since yesternight, so far I like it although I still kind of have to get used to it (I have been out of the habit of microblogging for like 6 or 7 years).

The UI is actually quite nice, with pretty good looking themes. There is a distinction between "global" (known network), "local" (your instance), and "social" (mostly people you follow), as well as "recommended" timelines. Features like channels I might explore some time in the future, so currently cannot say much about them.

Onboarding works quite nice with how you are being guided through filling in a profile, selecting a first few people to follow and writing a first post.

My Lemmy profile page shows my Calckey account, for those of you who wish to follow me. 😁

Calckey is great so far
