stop.voring.me (one of the largest Firefish/Calckey instances) has been down for a week and barely anyone is talking about it

RustyOperator@sopuli.xyz to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 40 points –

Does anyone have any ideas on how we can get in contact with Kainoa or someone, because I really want to move instances and keep all of my account stuff.

The server has been going down time and time again and I just want to move to something that isn't as likely to just not exist one day out of the blue.

@maegul@lemmy.ml @RustyOperator@sopuli.xyz as far as i heard the firefish devs just don't have alot of time atm, and one of the lead devs seems to have a bit of personal issues and thats the reason dev is slow and why the instance is down so often.

i can recommend looking at instances that use community projects that are based of misskey such as Sharkey (misskey softfork) or IceShrimp (hard fork of firefish) well unless u would like to completely jump ship on *key

(As u can see Sharkey can also somewhat communicate with lemmy unlike firefish and co)

@Amelia
all the *keys can communicate with lemmy as long as the lemmy post is not a link type post, and firefish users can take advantage of this rather rare event to chat with lemmy and kbin users, too

@RustyOperator @maegul

That's a bit sad to hear, but it's understandable. I guess the only thing that would have been nice was more communication from the devs/moderators.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll look into them. Do you know any similar projects to Akkoma? Because Firefish never had any well working Android apps and using something related to Mastodon might work better with them?

Both Iceshrimp and Sharkey should have better compatibility with Mastodon clients

@Kierunkowy74
i thought that the iceshrimp devs had rewritten their mastodon api compatibility layer, and that iceshrimp works fine with masto clients ... it doesn't?
