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.

That doesn’t make much sense. If firefish want iOS users then they are going to have to make it work on Safari

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.

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.

joinfirefish.org is a bit messy and compliacted (beehaw.org)
 

I thought I would try out firefish/calckey but found a few issues.

I should say I am in my 50s and have been around since I used 1970s BBS so have a reasonable understanding of the Fediverse etc.

But, joinfirefish.org seems to have gone for style over substance. It also doesn’t render properly on Safari (iOS)

Choosing a server to join seems unnecessarily difficult. At the top of the list is firefish.social marked as verified but when you click or tap to find out more you are presented with a coming soon page (not seen one of those since the 90s when everything was Under Construction).

The choice of servers seems limited with a need for more general servers.

It looks like I’m going to need to host my own. But a quick glance seems their’s poor documentation.

What do people think? Can anyone recommend a good general server in English?

I thought Meta had said they weren’t intending to federate (at least at first)?

Paramount+ cancels more shows (beehaw.org)
 

Ahead of the merger with Showtime Paramount+ has cancelled more shows. The most surprising of which is Star Trek:Prodigy

The animated coproduction with Nickelodeon was very well received and had been renewed for a second season. The second season is in post production and will be sold to another streamer/broadcaster.

My view is that cancelling already renewed content is a sure fire way to lose subscribers.
