I had no idea of the size and variety of the Fediverse! It has me feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm enjoying BookWyrm very much; it's the GoodReads/LibraryThing replacement I've been looking for for years.

I love the simplicity of Paper.wf for blogging. It's truly elegant; I just click the link and start typing. But as far as I can tell there's no way for others to find my blog or for me to find other blogs on the site. There's no browse or follow feature. Nor can anyone comment on my posts! Those seem to me to be HUGE omissions.

Have you used any Fediverse blogging options? What are they like? And what other Fediverse services would you recommend? Other than Mastodon, I've already tried that (it didn't excite me).

Calckey has the superior feature set to Mastodon by far. When the project matures, it'll be a force to reckon with.

To bad the name makes it sound like terminal spreadsheet application.

YES! It's the most imposing name imaginable. And not at all intuitive.

The good news is that they announced that they're changing the name soon; they have not said what it will be though.

That may help its adoption ... if the name change is an improvement.

I'm trying to imagine a worse name. Since God has a sense of irony, I imagine it will end up being a doozy!
