Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?
When I had Android, I regularly used phones past the point that they got security updates. Even a supposedly premium phone was hobbled by carriers/networks not releasing updates and cheaper phones didn’t have them for long.
Since moving to iPhone (where the 6S is still getting security updates ) I haven’t had a phone long enough for the updates to stop.
They are marked as general but when you click or tap through it’s obvious most of them aren’t
Edit: Also, I thought this was a domain change not migrating the users. If they really are migrating users then that would explain why it’s taking so long. But why show the server as verified and available during the process.
I think someone not used to these things would see ‘Coming Soon’ and just leave it as not launched yet.
If you don’t mind about the local timeline, or that the main language is different or that other users might get it defederated then your approach will work.
Indeed, thought I’d try again after a couple of days. Now getting 502 Bad Gateway errors from the joinfirefish site.
Also, some very strange reposting by firefish on mastodon. (possibly meant to do it from a personal account?) Some sort of unseemly personal argument between two people connected with the project that seem to have mental health issues.
I agree, the instances marked General are not really. I think you might also be correct about waiting a week. The lead developer seems to be fighting some other battles on Mastodon at the moment.
The madness continues: the list of servers now shows calckey.social instead of firefish.social. When you click the button to chose it, you’re then invited to sign up to firefish.social. But as soon as you tap it there’s a message that signups are disabled.
How long do you keep dailying a phone after the security updates for it end?

joinfirefish.org is a bit messy and compliacted
I thought I would try out firefish/calckey but found a few issues....
Jerboa for Android crashing for everyone else or just me?
