Deploy Sharkey in one click installation.
Federated microblogging server based on Misskey with improved performance, Mastodon API support, and modern UX.
What you can build with Sharkey
Sharkey is an upstream-tracking fork of Misskey that delivers a polished social experience for the fediverse. It speaks ActivityPub natively, so your community can follow and interact with accounts on Mastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Pixelfed, and the rest of the federated network without any bridges.
Compared to upstream Misskey, Sharkey adds federated post editing, federated profile backgrounds, Mastodon client API compatibility, and dozens of UX refinements driven by community feedback. Self-hosting Sharkey on your own VPS keeps your timeline, media, and follower graph fully under your control, with no platform owner deciding who you can reach.
Key features of Sharkey
ActivityPub federation
Connect with Mastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Pixelfed, and every other ActivityPub server to reach the whole fediverse from your own instance.
Mastodon API compatible
Use any third-party Mastodon client to post and browse, while still benefiting from Misskey-style features under the hood.
Custom emoji and reactions
Upload server-wide custom emoji and react to any post with them, turning timelines into expressive conversations beyond plain text.
Federated post editing
Edit your posts after publishing and have the change propagate cleanly to remote instances, with full edit history preserved.
Antennas and lists
Build keyword-based antennas and curated user lists to filter timelines, follow topics, and never miss posts that matter to you.
Drive media management
Organize uploaded images, videos, and files in a built-in Drive with folders, search, and reuse across posts and profile assets.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
