So i understand that blahaj.zone is a calckey instance and calckey is based on misskey and using an api called activitypub. But can i access mastodon with calckey? I have heard that people can access lemmy with mastodon, though i am not sure how. I have not yet tried mastodon yet. And does anyone have a mastodon suggestion or should i try calckey?
Yes, you can see and follow Mastodon users from Calckey
The UI is nicer and it has more features, but it can be a bit buggy and has less app support.
The mascot looks like this:
Mastodon is more like traditional Twitter; Calckey is more like tumblr or livejournal with longer posts, reactions, quote posts, etc. Mastodon has greater app support and is used more widely. I’d say calckey is more akin to traditional blogging while Mastodon is more for microblogging.
You can follow lemmy users by copying their handle into a search box on Mastodon (ie, @[email protected]).
as far as mastodon instances the biggest one is mastodon.social but it is often filled with spam. atm I have accounts in kolektiva.social (mainly anarchism/political stuff) and functional.cafe (functional programming basically, tho a bit off-topic sometimes)
I also havean blahaj.zone account so I use calckey (hajkey) too and you can interact with mastodon instances because of the activity pub (in a way, the glue that makes all of the federated platforms stick). calckey has a lot of features that mastodon doesn’t have so you may find it difficult in the beginning, that being said, its really powerful and has the capacity to be a lot of fun
i have toot.io
This is https://calckey.org/
However why do you think blahaj is running calckey? Looks like a lemmy instance to me
lemmy.blahaj.zone runs lemmy blahaj.zone runs hajkey (a fork of calckey which itself is a fork of misskey)
Gotcha! Thanks
