Hello Sharkey admins! The Sharkey dev team is preparing a hotfix for the 2025.4.2 release, but we need your help. If you've encountered any issues in the 2025.4.2 release, or if you're avoiding the upgrade due to challenges faced by other instances, then please reply here with details about the problem!
Most of the bugs have not been reported to our bug tracker, so we're only getting second-hand accounts of upgrades gone wrong. We can't fix what we don't know about, so please share any details you have! I'll make sure your feedback is recorded and addressed.
Thank you in advance!

Would y'all hate me if I added an optional Proof-of-Work captcha system to Sharkey?

2 years on the Fediverse! 
I first joined the Fediverse on May 30, 2023 - originally on Mastodon Dot Social, as I suspect many people first stumble their way there.
It has been an interesting 2 years. I ended up jumping between many instances (sites). The 1st time, because I felt Mastodon was becoming centralized with everyone jumping onto Mastodon Dot Social, but also because I wanted to try new software platforms.
Got scammed once, by helping the Sharkey Development, who promised to use the 1,000 bucks I sent for their server and new designed "Join Sharkey" websites, but never happened. I was not the only person who foolishly placed their trust as they ran off with over 2,000+ and used the hardware as their personal computer. When people called them out on this, "new" management (wink, wink) took over, and they even deleted the old account and moved to a new site.
Experienced the difference between having a good administrator, new administrator, and some administrators that should not be administrators.
Got really liking a software platform called, CherryPick. It is a fork of Misskey. Sadly, not many people use it because most of the sites that do are from South Korea and many new users (new administrators). Largest CherryPick site is Kitty Dot Social, which is run by one of the good administrators ( @Kitty@kitty.social ).
Became a priority to find a Fedi Site, outside Us Jurisdiction, as my home country (the United States of America) slowly slides into fascism and our "president" open investigations on people who speak out. Currently, publish a list of Fedi Sites that use non-US Domain Name Extensions (see URL below).
Learned just how fragmented the Fediverse is. I keep 2 accounts, simply because it is impossible to follow everyone I want to follow on a single sites. What ends up happening is an admin will block or silence "random Fedi site" and that will mean all their uses. Fragmentation is becoming a big problem on the Fediverse. In 2 years, it has only gotten worse.
Ended up here on Absturztau, for the 2nd time, because the admin here ( @puniko ) is awesome. Left the 1st time, wanting to try a different platform, came back despite it running Sharkey.
Learned the co-developer of ActivityPub and I are in the same town ( @cwebber@social.coop ). It is a small world, after all.
I have been featured in 7 YouTube videos. 3 of them were trolls, 1 in particular had a nearly 2 hour rant. The other 4 were generalization. The 1st and I think only person to ever published a downloadable copy of all their old post (over 50,000).
Cited in Wired Magazine for my list of digital services providers outside the US Jurisdiction (see screenshot to overcome paywall). See URL for that list they cited (see below).
Most shared past shared 120,000x. Most liked post was liked 230,000x. Learned, the hard way, that sometimes moving between sites means starting over. Highest follower count was 10,000. Highest post count was over 50, 0000. I make backups regularly now.
There is a whole sub-Reddit about me. - Hi guy. How's it hanging? You mad yet? Yeah, you mad. Mostly people upset that I work for Meta and remove Nazis, MAGA Trolls, and other such jerks. I'm told there is a 2nd, and they're just "curious" (I'll take your work for it).
It has been an interesting 2 years. Filled high, lows, and just a lot of interesting moments. Sometimes I have been frustrated and other times, this still is the best place to pass the time, when my job absolutely, sucks. There is knowledge and information, sometimes good humor, sometimes the things here can be sad and disappointing, and other times positive and uplifting.
There is a song called, "Welcome to the Internet" by "Bo Burnham" and there has been more than a few times that I think of that song, when here on the Fediverse.
What will year 3 bring? Who knows?!

️ How do I use regular expressions to mute specific terms without muting them if they're just part of a word?
So like, in a stupid example:
I want to block "lol" but not "testloltest"

Sharkey Admins: please consider delaying your instance's upgrade. There are multiple issues across the board that several admins have found including database migration failures, and I have personally seen issues with API requests stalling (which I think came from the release Enby.Life's fork pulled in).

[nsfw.social] Heads up fellow perverts! I've had a chance to take a look at the new #Sharkey that's coming and it's incredible! BUT, there are so many new options and settings for your account and your profile. You are definitely going to want to go through your Settings page with a fine-tooth comb and make any necessary adjustments.
Don't worry! None of your current settings will be changed, but there are just so many new ones. Especially new settings that let you control how open or closed/ private you want your account to be (for example).
A lot more Privacy controls.
Also, sooo many new Preferences you can set too.
So keep this in mind. Looking to upgrade .social and .lgbt on Saturday.

Updated my private #Sharkey server to the latest release. It looks very nice! I now see chat rooms, need to try that...
Update of calckey.world and sharkey.world is running.
You can almost use #Sharkey as a #Lemmy client now with a dedicated feed list. 
Just #Fediverse things.

A little while back, seeing how things were going -- I made a list of Fediverse sites whose domain name extensions were outside Us Jurisdiction.

While I have everyone's attention, I also made a list of digital services providers, that includes web hosting, domain registers, DNS, CDN, etc... of providers outside US Jurisdiction.

@funkvolk@mastodon.social bis auf das "nur nerds" und ein paar andere Sachen, ein schöner post (nur scheiß Threadkette, und hier kommt der Klugschiss: nutzt dafür bitte passende Software im Fediverse. Es gibt auch Dienste die mehr Zeichen können und dann hören diese scheiß threadketten endlich auf) 
Das medineschaffende nur Nerds sehen, muss eine Berufskrankheit sein denn so lange ich hier bin, ja es gib Nerds aber nicht so viele, wie dem Fediverse immer zugeschrieben werden
Auch der vergleich Vollkorn vs. Kuchen, passte nie so richtig. Denn der kommt eben auch aus der Sichtweise eines Medienschaffende. Wir haben hier immer Blumenwiesen gesehen, während Medienschaffende hier immer von Ödnis gesprochen haben.
Wohl eben auch, weil sie sich nie mit dem fediverse befast haben und hier versucht haben, 1:1 das fortzusetzen, was sie auf twitter gemacht haben. Damit musste man einfach scheitern, aber nicht am Fediverse, sondern mehr an sich selber, an eine Neue Umgebung anzupassen.
Das was du dir mühsam angelernt hast, haben wir immer freimütig an Tipps weitergegeben, um dann von Medienschaffende öffentlich als Klugscheißer und Besserwisser betitelt zu werden.
Falls gewünscht, können wir uns gern mal verbal dazu austauschen, wie unterschiedlich unsere Erfahrungen und Sichtweisen sind.
Grüße mit dem Fediverse Dienst #Calckey/#Sharkey
We seriously need the equivalent of the #NANOG for #FediAdmins and #InstanceOperators. Anybody working on that? We're happy to host and manage (under our BOFH umbrella) if people want. An out-of-bands communication channel for all #instance operators is grossly needed. #MastoAdmin #LemmyAdmin #SharkeyAdmin #mastodon #sharkey #pixelfed #lemmy

It's a pity that #Mastodon is the most popular #Fediverse service.* Lack of emoji reactions and markup make it really inexpressive, and if you choose something else which does support them - #Akkoma, #Sharkey, #Misskey etc - you're still cooked, because your emoji reactions and markup won't show up for the majority of people who are on Mastodon

1 thing I hate about Sharkey
If you're replying to a post, and decide to select "delete and edit" and you mistakenly click anywhere that would dismiss that overlay, the post is gone.
It has been years, and they have not fixed that issue.

is it just me or #pixelfed does not show images from #sharkey / #misskey instances? just noticed recently text-only posts in my feed tagged as photos. i.e. just text, w/o image placeholders, as if pixelfed did not recognize the format of the post.. and original posts actually contained photos, but I didn't see them.
