Looking on @opencollective, and I notice that #Firefish (fka. #Calckey) is still receiving funding from users and yet the project has been dead for nearly 18 months.
Kainoa handed the project over (and has dipped from Fedi, only on Bsky now) to naskya who announced its closure in September 2024 (https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-83/)
I think most server admins moved to #IceShrimp or #sharkey
It was such a great project and I miss using it.
Hi @elena
regarding your blog post about your experiences with Sharkey, I might be able to share at least two pieces of info.

Back in the old days, when I tested Calkey on my Yunohost setup, I wasn’t able to import any csv either. Misskey/Calkey/Firefish/Sharkey seem to have similar issues with privileges when it comes to Linux filesystems.
A small change in the default.yml solved that problem.

I also noticed that different instances running on the same Yunohost server can’t see each other properly. I was never able to follow my Friendica account from Mastodon, when both were on the same setup. Pixelfed was more forgiving, if I remember correctly. I guess NGINX routes requests for local domains through 127.0.01, which messes up the .wellknown lookups.
