What happened to all the forkiverse people?
#forkiverse
The social media trial underway in LA is only one of the major challenges to Section 230 that has recently gained traction. It really feels like a dam is about to break https://www.platformer.news/the-infinite-scroll-goes-on-trial/
@Casey and the water flows to #forkiverse ?
So you can follow #hashtags from the instance y/r in but not whilst browsing on another instances? #fediverse
@GF493D sort of... I see posts and replies from users at other instances at https://theforkiverse.com/tags/hashtags
But the #forkiverse only gets them from other instances if they have a reason to get them - like someone here follows the person on the other instance.
It's something like that.
I do know for sure that an instance can block other instances and you definitely won't see the stuff from blocked instances while here.
@FediTips could probably explain it correctly
I like that the Forkiverse exists and that it is part of the Fediverse.
Another Fediverse culture. Another set of norms. Another group of people.
It makes the Fediverse a better and richer place.

Does anyone use an MP3 player that they'd recommend? It needs a 3.5mm jack. Preferably small, with buttons rather than touch, but willing to compromise on that.
I've searched but they're mainly unknown (to me) brands with mixed reviews, or second hand, which probably means the battery won't last long.
Hey #forkiverse #fediverse @dansup @FediTips can you please help me out.
- I made an account directly on Pixelfed under @Biokevin@pixelfed.social.
- I made a new test account with my @theforkiverse.com account featured here @Biokevin
- When I created the account and used the fork account (K2) I still needed to assign a unique user name within the PixelFed world @Biokevinn.
- I made a test post (see above) and I was not able to see it under my Fork account unless I followed the new @Biokevinn account.

***My question is what is the benefit of using my Fork account when I join new instances if they create new user names either way? Is this where the Followers aspect comes in that I might be missing? For creating a primary follower base should I default to always signing in with my Fork account?
Thanks for you help.

It just hit to me that maybe people in the #forkiverse (including @Casey , @pj and @EzraKleinsgooncave ) have not seen this amazing video by @_elena
Take a look, it is worth it every minute.

I think the #forkiverse would enjoy this episode from Ezra @podcasts https://pca.st/episode/586a0807-8a4d-4a84-b639-e802db301980

How do folks manage the balance between having a more private social media experience with the fediverse versus a fully public one? I'm starting to run into some conflict with how I use the fediverse like I would my Instagram for example. I've always had private accounts because I only want to share with people I know. That doesn't seem to be an option here so it does limit the type of content I would be willing to share publicly. Thoughts?

What does it mean to be a Forker? People talking through group identity is fascinating. To me, it is the hope of online community. I've always considered online friendships to be true friendships, though of varying degrees of closeness. #forkiverse
Anyone have some quick info on #forkiverse? What is this all about?

@Casey The #forkiverse inspired me to spawn up my own Friendica instance on my new domain, thecreativerse. There's a conversation now with my friends to join me on that server. So yes a much bigger impact than what you see in your user count.
Dear #forkiverse - anyone else hate the mastodon client? I can't decide what would make it better to find a decent client.
Good morning! There are now 9,358 souls in the Forkiverse. What will it take to crack 10,000????

Might get banned from the #forkiverse for this, but I think I need the Algorithm. How am I supposed to know who to follow, what to pay attention to, or what’s going to be most interesting to me without an Algorithm feeding it to me? Old Facebook worked because it was my friends, but this is just a bunch of random people I don’t know. How do I navigate this? I feel like the humans in WALL-E freed from their entertainment pods unable to navigate the world.
