Misskey is an free and open-source software used for running self-hosted social networking services. It was originally developed by "syuilo", a Japanese software engineer.[2] The main service was first developed as a bulletin board, but then the open-source community started to add short "Notes" and a timeline function to the service growing it into a microblogging site. Those key features allowed the program and community to grow to its current size.
Overview
A user's post is called a Note. As with other open-source social networks, users can join or create servers. Each server is managed by different administrators, in different locations.
The origin of the Misskey name is from the lyrics of 'Brain Diver', a song released by the Japanese singer May'n.[2]
History
Development
Misskey publishes its source code to GitHub. You can modify the code as long as you publish it based on AGPLv3. Since Misskey also publishes open API, you can create a personal application through the code. The translation uses Crowdin.
Timeline
- On 2014, development and operation were launched.[2]
- On April 8, 2018, became to use the ActivityPub protocol to communicate with each other server, and rename its codename "nighthike".[3]
- On April 14, 2019, version 11 was released. PostgreSQL was adopted as a database software, and renamed its codename "daybreak".
- On February 6, 2020, version 12 was released. Rename its codename "indigo".
- On January 16, 2023, version 13 was released. Rename its codename "nasubi". Added functions and Changed design drastically.
Technology
The code is written with TypeScript and Node.js. PostgreSQL is used as a database software while Vue.js is used as the Web client since February, 2018. Misskey users can interact with users on any other server that supports ActivityPub.
Differences from Mastodon
Misskey and Mastodon are both distributed social networks based on ActivityPub. But their programming languages and library are different and their APIs are not compatible.
When it began, Misskey was not designed as a distributed social network, so its main philosophy isn't based on an decentralized approach.[4]
