In case you've been interested in wading into microblogging and didn't feel like Mastodon was your thing, the Lemmy instance you're on might have a *key instance to check out!

I'm posting to your from Sharkey World, Lemmy World's Sharkey instance. However I was surprised to find that Programming Dev has an Iceshrimp instance over at Bytes. Meanwhile I first learned of Blahaj Zone from their Sharkey instance awhile before they spun up their lemmy instance.

One of the cool features of each of these is that even if you're not into microblogging, they also basically have a blogging feature built in alongside it in the form of a Pages feature. Prefer the long form? Write there and then easily turn around and share it with a microblog post.

Are there any other Lemmy instances out there running *key instances? Mention'em in the comments!

Lemmy instances with *key instances!

Huh?

[–] VeSpectagles@sharkey.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As the other person that replied indicated, *key is shorthand for Misskey and Misskey fork instances like Sharkey/Iceshrimp/etc.

There's a bunch of them and since many of the instances with primarily English or other language (besides Japanese) people on them aren't using Misskey (or any specific fork) it's easier to write *key.

I should have clarified that in the OP, but I hoped the body text would help with that. My bad!

This is you right now. Most of us have no idea what Misskey is.

I was more commenting on the fact that it's an incomplete sentence. What does it have to do with Lemmy?
