Unfortunately Sharkey doesn't seem to have any user documentation.

I think clips are somewhat similar to bookmarks: https://thefedi.wiki/firefish/user/clips

(Firefish is another Misskey fork so the functions are similar.)

I cannot find any documentation about channels, but perhaps they are similar to antennas on Firefish? https://thefedi.wiki/firefish/user/antennas

@FediTips @Hu the lack of documentation is what made me ask on here. I figured someone must know.

@IkkleGemzUniverse @FediTips who are the devs btw? Can we directly ask them?

[picard@mas.to]

@IkkleGemzUniverse @FediTips @Hu channels are like local-only message boards. like we had one for music or recipes or something on calckey back then. think people wanted to federate them as groups but not sure that ever happened.

i never really used clips, think it allows you to save the contents of a post, have a vague feeling people used it for clipping when somebody had done something cool with mfm so you can reuse / learn from it. but it's been a while since i used sharkey so may be wrong.
