The Original Japanese Media Fandom Mastodon and Misskey Community
It’s been a while since we provided an update, so it’s time to provide a brief update as of recently. Sakurajima Social and Sakurakey For a while now, we are running Sharkey with a bunch of additions. With that, we want to differentiate it a little, so you may notice that if you are not …
Now that we are in the depths of Spring, here are a few updates for Sakurajima. Sakurajima Social turns 1 year old Our sister server, Sakurajima Social, which used to run Calckey, renamed itself Firefish. However, given the poor state of Firefish, with the lead developer abandoning the project and giving it to someone else, …

Also, we will shrill our servers and of course, Sharkey because we know Misskey/Sharkey is 1000% better than BlueSky. This …
