I’m testing Calckey to improve compatibility with Micro.blog. Some of the UI is quite busy and not for me, but I love how they are showing ActivityPub usernames, with the profile photo and dimmed domain name. Might borrow this.

@manton I'm keeping an eye on Calckey. I'm finding Mastodon to be not fun.

Bluesy, OTOH, is fun.

@manton

you might be the only person doing what you're doing.

@manton Welcome, I think you’ll enjoy it. Some love that name treatment, some don’t. We’re planning to configure several Calckey models based on default themes and prefs, where all that opt-in decoration can be user’s choice.

@MitchW @manton I have an alt account on #Calckey and it's definitely more oriented around being "fun".

@vwbusguy Does Calckey have length limits on posts? Length limits drive me bonkers.

@MitchW Doesn't seem to. You can even post a "page" like a longform blog post, which is itself a regular post. If there is a limit, I haven't found it yet even with longer posts like this one:

@vwbusguy I'll keep an eye on Calckey. Thanks!

@MitchW Or better yet - just create an account and try it out. You don't have to migrate. I have a separate Calckey account like I have a separate Pixelfed account. The fediverse is a big place.

@vwbusguy Good idea, though I'm suffering a bit of social media burnout at this point. I do Facebook, micro.blog, mastodon, bluesky, reddit, twitter, and tumblr already!
