I’ve never understood Twitter, but I think I’m starting to understand
getting pulled in kinda makes me feel like I should be on mastodon primarily instead, so I was wondering what the “Blahaj” of Mastodon is, what server should I join?
Well, there is blahaj.zone (without the “lemmy” part) and it uses Sharkey, which is similar to (apparently, haven’t used it) and compatible with Mastodon (it’s on the Fediverse as well).
basically, I don’t know if blahaj.zone has a Mastodon instance but the Sharkey instance is the closest one to being Mastodon, and possibly better in many ways, and serves the same microblogging functionality
this is brilliant, thank you!
do you know if there is an android client that works with Sharkey, or is it web UI only?
EDIT: I see Sharkey implements the Mastodon API, so does that mean you can use Mastodon android apps with it? 🤔
i think you can use sharkey with mastodon apps, yes!
however, you’re not gonna get any sharkey-exclusive features on the app, since it’s an app made for mastodon
I use Moshidon. It won’t support Sharkey 100%, but you’ll be able to use the basic functionality.
Pachli is also pretty good.
Sharkey itself doesn’t have many apps made just for it, as far as I’ve seen.
I found Sharkey to be a lot. Couldn’t wrap my head around it. Maybe I’m just getting old.
