Misskey is a free, open-source social media platform built around microblogging, similar in concept to Twitter but designed around a model called federation. Instead of one company running one central website, Misskey lets anyone host their own server, called an instance, and those servers connect to each other so users on different servers can follow and interact with each other. This network of interconnected servers is commonly called the Fediverse. The platform uses a widely-adopted standard called ActivityPub to handle communication between servers. This is the same protocol used by other federated social networks including Mastodon, which means Misskey users can interact not only with other Misskey servers but with any compatible platform on the Fediverse. There are two ways to participate. You can join an existing public Misskey instance from a directory of servers listed on the project's website, or you can run your own instance if you want to manage your own community. The project provides installation guides and Docker support for self-hosting. There is no charge either way. Misskey is built with TypeScript and has been translated into many languages through the Crowdin localization platform. The project uses Sentry for tracking unexpected software errors, Chromatic for catching visual changes in the user interface, and Docker as its standard deployment method. The lead developer accepts support through Patreon, and there is a Discord community for discussion. The README for this project is brief and points mainly to the documentation hub at misskey-hub.net, which is where you would find detailed setup guides, a feature overview, and a public directory of instances you can join.
