Newcomers keep coming here. Welcome everyone!
Don’t forget, a good transition is a soft transition. Habits needs to be planted, and then grow. Here, no company wants you to develop addiction and click on ads, so there is a discovery time you may want to take to build your Fediverse network! Enjoy this time!
Also ask me anything, I am a 7 years old fedi citizen maybe able to help, or find someone who can.

#Pixelfed is getting talked about on TikTok as an alternative to #Instagram.
Almost every video about it has people in the comments saying "Why do I have to pick a server? What does that mean?"
Either people are just dumb beyond help, or we need to do better at onboarding people to the #fediverse.
Edit: I love the ideas and discussions this post is stirring up!

Most Fediverse communities operate on donations, and overall our survey participants are not generating enough money to cover costs.
Very few moderators are receiving any compensation for their labour.
This is your reminder to donate to your admin if you’re able to.

Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots!
Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.
Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust @fedify foundation.
🚀 The Future is Federated - issue no.12 👩🚀

#Mastodon monthly user base has dropped below 1M. Sucks but we didn't need clout chasers who needed an algorithm what to think here anyway. #fediverse #Bluesky has quadrupled since early this year.
Forward-thinking journalists are not letting the “media apocalypse” happen to them. Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben join fediverse futurist @mike for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.

Someone asks, “Does the #Fediverse have a #Soundcloud equivalent?”
Yes, there is: #Funkwhale.
Not a whole lot of people use it yet, so give it some love. Or better yet, set up a server if you can so that other people can enjoy it.

Bluesky & the Fediverse: How 3 + 0 adds up to more than 1 + 2
Building a different web and bringing back its magic means choosing what matters. Making the most of the bridge with Bluesky. Turning people first, post once social media - Fediverse 3.0 - into a reality. And nurturing communities through small and medium sized servers, feeds, hashtags and Fediverse 0.0.

This account blocks "Mastodon.Social"
Lack of responsibility by the moderator and the prevalence of spam & hostile accounts and the practice of bad actors makes the instance, as a whole, a threat to other servers and their users on the #fediverse .

Just a reminder that 0% of fediverse admins took on debt to support their communities.

Will you be in or near Austin, TX, on March 9 and 10? We're gathering people passionate about decentralized social media for two days of panels, networking, learning, and fun during the first-ever Fediverse House.
We’ll be sharing official details soon, but for now we wanted to do a special roll call 📯 for creators, publishers, podcasters, community builders, and developers.
Let us know if you’ll be there as we are currently finessing our programming lineup and looking for expert voices to showcase and partner with. Thank you! 🤙

Is there an analog for #researchgate in the #Fediverse?
In a way, https://bookwyrm.social/ comes close to this. Bibliometric information like the number of citations might be taken from different sources like #openalex and #wikidata.
Are you trying to find interesting accounts to follow on here about specific topics?
You can see thousands of recommended accounts to follow organised into topics and categories at:
To find out more about an account, click on its Fediverse address.

We're creating something truly special here with the fediverse, and I am so thankful for everyone who contributes to it, whether with your time, money, or just by sharing your thoughts, your creations, your silly little jokes. Keep it up!
