FEDIVERSE NOTICE -- PLEASE BOOST! ​​

To all Calckey.social users:

The preparations are finally complete. We will be migrating to firefish.social soon. All your posts, dms, etc will be in-tact.

To all Fediverse server admins:

You and your users will probably see a lot of follows from firefish.social. Please don't be alarmed, this is going to be the result of everyone migrating their account at once. Since there are only ~2500 users here, it hopefully shouldn't be too much pressure on your servers, but to be safe, it's slightly staggered to avoid bombarding a server all at once.

#Calckey announcement ​​

So, drumroll please...

🥁🥁🥁

Here's what's coming up!

Yes, Calckey is undergoing a full rebranding!! But it's more than that. We've worked for MONTHS on this, and there's going to be a lot of changes and exciting things coming up. This includes:

- A new name and logo
- Press releases?!?!
- A super sick trailer video
- A full roadmap for the next couple YEARS
- A new flagship server that will be AUTOMATICALLY MIGRATED TO from calckey.social (a Fediverse first!)
- A cute new mascot ​​ <(I'm not cute?!)
- A new code hosting service with better CI/CD
- The stable release you've all been waiting for, but not as v14.0.0... as v1!!

And this is all coming on

July 19th.

Save the date.

So, an update on things. #Calckey

1. I'm very sorry for all of the degraded performance lately on calckey.social. As you may or may not know, we've been testing changes with our codebase, database deployment, ims deployment, and a whole lot more. After a lot of testing and changes, I thought that we were good enough to start opening signups again. Turns out... we're not. As I continue to work on things and start team up with some very smart people who've worked in deployment and scaling systems, we're going to do our absolute best to make sure that we can handle things on all ends, and hopefully get extra hands on deck for day-to-day operations, so it's not all on my shoulders. I was sadly unable to attend to a lot of things yesterday due to being out of town for the holiday, and being in a no-service area for the majority of the day, so I didn't know that there were issues until it was too late. Thank you for your patience as we go through growing pains. A full write-up on what went wrong, the steps we took, and how it's fixed (once it's fixed!) will be made after all this is done. For real.

2. I did NOT expect this amount of support, interest, and coverage! Hitting 13k from 11k in a little over 2 days across all servers is still boggling my mind. And it's not just calckey.social -- so many other servers are getting new users, and even ~30 new servers cropped up! Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I'll make sure that I do my hardest to make sure you all have a great experience.

3. As promised, you all deserve a peak into what we've been working on in secret for months. More details to come tonight/tomorrow. Stay tuned. 😉

Sincerely,
Kainoa
