Calckey rebrands to Firefish (calckey.social)

Calckey/Firefish is based off of Misskey, a powerful microblogging server on ActivityPub with features such as emoji reactions, a customizable web UI, rich chatting.

Wow, what a wild ride, huh? From those first brainstorming sessions that sparked Calckey, to the epic journey that brings us here today, rebranding as Firefish - I've gotta say, I'm seriously blown away.

One year ago, Calckey was just my side project, after being a Misskey contributor for a while. But when y'all jumped on board, you made it so much more. You transformed it from my dream to our reality.

Firefish isn't just a cool name. It's everything we've been working towards. It's late nights, strong coffee, wild ideas, laughs, and even the occasional tears. It's our little space on the web where we're constantly pushing for the next big thing, and always looking out for one another.

So here we are, at the start of something new. Firefish is more than just a rebrand - it's a celebration. A celebration of you, me, and us. It's a tribute to the amazing community we've built together. Firefish is all of YOU.

I'm on calckey.social ... now probably firefish.social (as in they're making the change today).

It's the main flagship-style instance. But they've been having performance issues for a month or so that aren't fatal but not ideal. There's a good chance the move to the new server (ie firefish.social) will fix all that but I wouldn't guarantee that.

Other than that I'm not really sure. blahaz.zone seems to be run well. the admins of infosecexchange and mastodon.world also run instances, but I'm not sure how they're going. So, firefish.social is probably the best recommendation ... though there are actually a number of instances out there!
