I've been a part of many social media efforts. For example, I helped build and grow Hootsuite.
But nothing compares to what's happening with https://calckey.social (and #Calckey) right now.
Right now, the growth is entirely word of mouth.
No advertising, press releases, Silicon Valley-style hype.
But last November, I told @kainoa that this could be a project that changes their life.
I'm honoured to help in whatever way that I can!

I'm not personally experiencing that right now. However, if you're experiencing a bug, I recommend filing it here:

@atomicpoet@mastodon.social @kainoa@calckey.social @fediversenews@venera.social It's good to see, but I'm wondering if you can explain why typing on #calckey seems slower than in #mastodon. There's just a little bit of latency with each keystroke in my experience. I don't have it anywhere else.

@gdiak @fediversenews @here There is lots of slowness due to a big wave of registrations and site visits. I know that @kainoa is working hard, but this is a lot of traffic! Would be hard for anyone to keep up.

@Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa @fediversenews This explains what Calckey is: https://calckey.org/about/

@atomicpoet @kainoa @fediversenews I still haven’t figured out what #calckey is. Do I need to be on a calckey server? Is it different from mastodon? Do I need to sign up for another service?

@atomicpoet @Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa @fediversenews It doesn't say what it does or why anyone would want to use it?

@kimschulz @Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa @fediversenews I don't recommend visiting calckey.social right now since it's being overwhelmed by traffic.
Here's a list of other Calckey servers: https://calckey.org/join/

@atomicpoet @Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa @fediversenews btw: calckey.social just gives me a blank page here (in chrome/pc)

@atomicpoet @Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa @fediversenews not really except for explaining the branding. What about a feature list?
Chris Trottier
@Ronkjeffries @Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa calckey.social went from 250 users last week to 1,050 right now.
100 people joined last night. It is now the largest Calckey server on the Internet.
The growth has been overwhelming.

@Extra_Special_Carbon @kimschulz @kainoa @fediversenews Sorry, I meant to send you to this page. https://calckey.org/blog/en/calckey/

@kimschulz @atomicpoet @kainoa @fediversenews I agree. That just brands it. Is it another service I need to sign up for? It sounds like yes, so I’ll stay put for now.
Chris Trottier
@kimschulz @Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa @fediversenews Yes, Calckey federates with Mastodon, and vice versa.

@atomicpoet @Extra_Special_Carbon @kainoa @fediversenews One thing I cannot figure out is if I can federate between calckey and mastodon? If, say, I want to use calckey but already have a good network build on mastodon.
Chris Trottier
@arinbasu @atomicpoet@venera.social @fediversenews @kainoa We'd be thrilled if you used Calckey. Keep in mind that we are in *active* development 🙂
