I spun up an instance of Calckey to see how well it plays and pulls in content from Beehaw. It feels kind of hit or miss. I wish there was a tool that federated really nicely with multiple platforms.
I’d love something that would allow easy browsing of lemmy content and a nice interface for just sharing photos and text. Calckey seems almost there but lemmy content just seems to randomly trickle in the main feed and it’s not very organized. The project is a small team so it’s understandable.
Calckey looks like it has a really mature ui, which is something that other fediverse stuff seems to struggle with. How inter-operable is it with stuff like mastodon? I understand that's the whole point of the fediverse but I'm curious how well calckey works as like a one-stop shop, as it were. Or if not, what's it primarily useful for?
It’s great for something like mastodon posts since it’s a similar post style. But for deep threaded content like Lemmy, it could use some work.
It’s useful for posting multimedia posts and text posts. You can also create lemmy posts and respond them when they pop up in the feed. But I haven’t been able to “search” for the URL of a specific lemmy thread sadly, just a community.
The features it has basically let you create like a mini site and you can customize the UI as needed for your instance.
