@stux I used to miss Twitter, but then I fell into the host-my-own-instance hole and I haven't looked back since! Which is great, because stuff like this is bloody awful 😠

If I stare at my cat for too long she walks up to me and tries to bap my face with her paws.

and so I switch to an instance without edits, and the first thing I do is misspell finally. Should've at least misspelled it as finyaylly, for a good yay! 😅

Hello there wonderful people! This is a fresh new Calckey instance that took me a little bit longer than expected to get running! It is also now my primary instance! I am about to import my follows from my instance. I'm sorry if this is a bother!

I am so happy to finally get this going! is so cool!

@RinguPingu Had a discussion about Hive Social with Catbun the other day. Seems super sus that there are no ToS! (At least not before you register)

@RinguPingu @Udrian@mastodon.gamedev.place You are right Salt! They remain where they were originally posted and cannot be seen on the new account! (Unless you're an admin of two instances and willing to manually move data around! 😆)

@itsonyouthough Boost + Reply or post with link to toot! (Other than that, some types of Fediverse instances just allow you to quote post, but as far as I am aware none of them are Mastodon-based)

@Rachel_Thorn@queer.party You can follow hashtags with the normal web interface now ​:ameowbongo:​
Search for a hashtag, click it, and there should be a follow option! (Near the top, I think)

@Rachel_Thorn@queer.party You can pin hashtags using the deck/advanced web interface (and you can add more hashtags to said pin). I don't think that is the follow hashtag feature, but it is quite similar!

@maia Seeing no bio after a follow/request just feels a little bit unnerving. On that note though, perhaps I should add more about myself to my bio, it is currently quite short!

@rose_ebooks Maybe something akin to the version in Bartok the Magnificent?

@thatonecalculator Calckey (see I got the name right this time 😅) is so cool! It may load a bit slower than Mastodon, but it has so many awesome features to make up for it!

@RinguPingu Down the rabbit hole we go! On that note, it seems very easy to host a smaller instance of some kind. I've suddenly been filled with the urge to do something akin to recreating the Mastodon instance that I am on but in like Calckey ​:ameowbongo:​

@chrisabides Be wary though, the point about post quoting isn't quite true. Other types of fediverse instances (such as those that run MissKey) do, as far as I am aware, support post quoting. It is my understanding that when a Mastodon user does get post quoted from such an instance, they simply do not get a notification.

I'm currently on a little quest to explore more of the ! I've made a account (because I'm primarily interested in microblogging), and I am currently looking at what and has to offer. I love that so many communities can come together through the ActivityPub protocol!
