Today is the day I talk about what #Calckey is and what it does. 🧵
In this thread, I will explore what I believe to be the most important features of Calckey.
SPOILER ALERT: While Calckey focuses on microblogging, that’s where its similarities with #Mastodon (and #Twitter) end.

Let’s now talk about search on #Calckey.
To be bluntly honest, Fediverse search needs a lot of work. I don’t think one server software nails it yet.
However, unlike Mastodon, Calckey allows you to search across the Fediverse without need of hashtags (or for you to have interacted with the post previously).
This makes search a lot more extensible than on Mastodon.

This is another massive difference between #Calckey and Mastodon.
Calckey has a Drive!
That’s right, a cloud storage feature! You can store whatever you want there: photos, music, documents, Zip files, etc.
Who needs Dropbox or Onedrive when you have Calckey?
As you can see in this screenshot, I’m storing diverse media.
Pages! That’s another big difference between #Calckey and Mastodon.
That’s right, anyone can make a webpage using Calckey. This page does formats text, embeds images, and allows you to express yourself as you choose.
Here’s an example of a Calckey page made by @youronlyone:
