I curate two maps, one for local- or language-centric fedi communities, and another for organisations who self-host and self-publish on ActivityPub.

I am always open to suggestions for additions!

📢 WE. CANNOT. SUCCEED. WITHOUT. JOY.

I just witnessed the world premiere of an amazing four minute fediverse video.

I am maniacally reloading the page where I expect the video to be made public, I cannot wait to share this.

I'm not ashamed to say, I cried a little bit.

Stay tuned.

And massive kudos and thanks to @_elena

How did it go? So well that I've been fighting back tears for the past half hour.

Getting such warm, positive comments from builders and champions of the fediverse is EVERYTHING ❤️ Thank you @j12t for this opportunity.

I'm almost tempted to "deploy on a Friday" and share the link to the video now 😅 But nah, I know better. Tuesday it is! (Monday is a public holiday here)

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

It would be great to connect & get to know people who are taking part from European countries. "Europe" as in beyond 🇪🇺

Feel free to use the hashtag #FediForumEurope to reach out and connect ✨

As @j12t pointed out regional FediForums would be great 🚀

The answer is — it already exists.

It is called GreatApe.

GreatApe is a conferencing platform for the Fediverse and the Social Web — where an audience can listen & watch live, and can be invited to join the speakers on the stage.

You can try an early MVP here:

With more features being added every week.

I'll be premiering the Fediverse promo video right after @cwebber's keynote!

And just in: subtitles in German thanks to @grosser_mensch and in Spanish thanks to @danielcasanueva ❤️

See you later!
