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.
With all the tiktok drama I have been telling people Mastodon is still here and kicking!! I love this app and I really think the decentralized model is the best for social media.
Still, people don’t want to join! What do you think Mastodon’s biggest barriers are to courting new users? What could be done to improve the product and grow the user base in a positive way?
@taylorlorenz I think part of it is the pr campaign other platforms have waged against it, saying things like there's some sort of eldritch signing-up process that involves Byzantine bureaucracy, and part that we need cool people to show the way, as we saw in the case of #forkiverse their audience in.

Pierre Gordeeff: “Home Made Machines”
Step into the curious world of Pierre Gordeeff (Man on the right), where hand-built machines come alive. These installations, both poetic and bizarre, turn everyday objects into a mechanical theater.
Mixing recycled materials, raw invention, and a touch of dark humor, each piece challenges how we see function and creativity. Loved the performance

Going out on a limb here. I have never embraced social media (had to do it for my company so I get it, but I don't love it). I am wondering if a place like the #forkiverse may be different. I am curious to give it a try. And what I want to share is that I am working on a vibe coding project of a website I tried to build over a decade ago - so far, I am blown away with Claude Code. Thanks @Casey and @kevin for getting me started! More about what I am working on later!
Do we *really* have to go through this again?
"The hosts of one of my favourite tech podcasts, Hard Fork, had an idea: What if they built a new social media platform from scratch that could bring back some of that magic? They teamed up with the Search Engine Podcast to collaboratively launch “The Forkiverse.”"
"...they built a new social media platform from scratch..."
They did absolutely *nothing* of the sort
The #Forkiverse is nothing but a plain-jane, vanilla install of #Mastodon, currently running v4.5.5
I'm sorry...
...no, I'm not
This relentless promo play for what is nothing more that a couple New York Podcast Influencers has become too much

@Casey The #forkiverse hit in two weeks what it took Indieweb.social server two years….
There should be a “starter pack” for this thing #forkiverse
