@diff@burggit.moe not sure if the users in this thread can see this (I don’t know how the federation between lemmy and sharkey works) but this is me posting from my sharkey account

This is visible from the lemmy instance at burggit.moe.

Okay, I just learned that it is a completely, utterly different experience. To be honest, I just never even tried to make one, because from what you can see at the outset, it doesn't look like there'd be a point…

what’s wrong with burggit’s sharkey instance? Do you not like Sharkey specifically? You can follow baraag creators from there if that’s what you wanted to do on baraag.

Okay, to be be quite honest, I'm just completely baffled by this sharkey thing. By now I don't even know how to find it anymore. I saw it for a while while the lemmy instance was down, and I never got what it even is, what it does. Nobody ever explained it to, it was just like "here's a sharkey instance", as if that's a thing that everybody knows what it is, when I have never before or since then even heard that word outside of burggit.moe.

I think it has something to to with mastodon, but even then, the details or how it offers anything beyond mastodon are completely fuzzy to me.

Most of the alternatives seem to be very hard to get into. Baraag wants a sample of your own artwork for an account, but I'm not an artist. Most others, like shota.house, need an invite and then still need a justification, and I have no idea what to even write there…

Do you guys prefer the Burggit Sharkey instance or this Lemmy instance? in c/askburggit@burggit.moe

Honestly, I never understood what the sharkey instance was even supposed to be. It looked extremely counter-intuitive to me. No idea what I was even supposed to do there,
