What is sharkey?
Looks like Twitter clone?
its the function called Antennas.
I've never used it but it is my understanding that it pretty much the same thing with more functionality.
I'm not a fan of the misskey forks because most of them are very buggy and have very bloated UIs. I tried Iceshrimp and hajkey and both were terribly buggy. Sharkey was okay but still very buggy, biggest issue by far is the fact that follow attempts typically hang for long amounts of time if they even go through at all. Not sure if it's a frontend issue though or an issue with the software itself, I tried Sharkey's Mastodon API to use the Mastodon app and it seems to work okay there. I still wouldn't trust it over mastodon which is much more polished and stable.
There are some cool features in it like the cat ears, the gallery, and very robust theming elements, but ultimately stability and usability come first for social platforms I'm going to use seriously
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 😁
Cool, nice with more options. :)
