        <h2><a href="#information">Instance information</a></h2>
        <p>This is our Sharkey instance, managed by <a href="https://booping.synth.download/@sneexy">@sneexy</a>. This is our general information page about our instance, most info here is shared with our other instances.</p>
        <hr class="solid">
        <p>Sharkey is a "microblogging"-based social networking software that connects over <a href="https://activitypub.rocks">ActivityPub</a> to federate over the internet with other AP-based software and instances in the world such as <a href="https://joinmastodon.org">Mastodon</a>. Sharkey itself is a soft-fork of <a href="https://misskey-hub.net">Misskey</a>, so you recieve all of the features Misskey has, such as quote posts and emoji reactions, with extra features and fixes Sharkey puts on top.</p>
        <p class="info-box info"><span class="icon tabler--info-circle"></span> If Sharkey isn't your type of software, we have a sibiling <a href="/iceshrimp">Iceshrimp</a> instance that provides most of the Misskey-like and other advanced features while keeping out the more complex or "non-sense" features, on top of a stable, more Mastodon-compatible base. Alternatively, we also provide a <a href="/mastodon">Mastodon</a> instance with extra features like support for Emoji reactions baked in, recommended if you prefer a more basic and calmer experience to social media and compatibility with most Fediverse clients and software.</p>
        <hr class="solid">
