I just read up on it and it seems good, at least in theory. How does it compare to Lemmy, would you say?

Hello everyone,...

CalcKey adopts a new name, new logo, new site, and new project infrastructure. While the name is somewhat odd, this feels like a really big step forward for the project.

Did I get punished for saying something wrong? Did it get an update?

mastodon.art has decided to suspend firefish.social from their instance due to issues with its administrator. The administrator of firefish.social was found to be boosting posts from a known harasser on another instance. mastodon.art takes a firm stance against racism and suspending full instances in these situations is part of...

Every comment in this post got 1 downvote for literally no reason. Like… it’s a post about cats, nothing controversial at all. Do people just go around downvoting every post? Why?

In essence, what woud you say lemmy is? A way to have all your old forum subscriptions in one place in the form of communies?...
