I know a lot of you still think of the #Fediverse as just “Mastodon”.

But it’s far more than that. There’s an entire ecosystem of federated message boards that’s already proven popular: #Piefed, #NodeBB, #Lemmy, #Mbin, and #Discourse.

Even the classics like #Friendica and #Hubzilla have solid forum features baked in.

If you’re only here for the microblogging, you’re missing a key piece. Communities built around interests are something #Twitter never offered, and #Bluesky still doesn’t.

So if you’re looking to replace your #Facebook Groups, the Fediverse already has you covered.

Also: i talk up the idea of #Lemmy and #Mbin and #Piefed and the #Threadiverse in the idea on surfacing content...

Much of that idea was spurred by this from Piefed on it's potential feed format that can pull in multiple other community fediverse acocunts into one feed:

https://join.piefed.social/2025/04/30/how-piefed-federates-feeds-aka-multi-reddits-or-multi-comms/

And would love to hear what @rimu thinks of my riffing on this for discovery fedi wide, and if he had notes.

Here is a general call for folks who know the latest #Piefed - and especially its new feeds function, to help us set this up: https://piefed.social/f/renewedresistence

The #threadiverse is far more activated than most know and we would like to make PieFed our home base for upvoting links, and to federate them out to THIS account to boost.... We want to be organizng ALL across the open social web, and so much good work is being done on #Lemmy#PieFed#Mbin... (and maybe elsewhere, let us know if we miss any)

I really like the idea of this #Lemmy community: https://feddit.online/c/dadforaminute@lemmy.world . I wish it were more active.

Most on the Fediverse can follow it at, and post to it at: @dadforaminute

Note. Those on my Friendica instance can't access lemmy.world because the 240K requests per day coming in from Lemmy instances overwhelmed the server and the database, and I had to block Lemmy. Friendica just can't handle it.

I think Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed will soon see an influx of new users.

Reddit is going to use Sam Altmans sketchy iris-scanning "Orb" to verify users.

What in the Black Mirror is this shit?
