<p><strong>Iceshrimp</strong> is a decentralized and federated social networking service, implementing the <strong>ActivityPub</strong> standard.<br>
It was forked from <del>Calckey</del> Firefish (itself a fork of Misskey) in mid-2023, to focus on stability, performance and usability instead of new features.</p>
---
> **Note**
> This project is **not** inactive.
>
> Almost all of our current development efforts are going into the Iceshrimp.NET [rewrite](/iceshrimp/Iceshrimp.NET), to further our goal of increasing stability and performance.<br/>
> This means that Iceshrimp-JS (this project) is only receiving security patches and minor bug fixes. Support is of course still available on the usual channels.
>
> There is already an easy upgrade path available for existing Iceshrimp instances, though we don't recommend taking it just yet.<br/>
> With Iceshrimp.NET getting ever-closer to a stable release, we hope you're just as excited as we are. Check out the [repository](/iceshrimp/Iceshrimp.NET) for more information.
