A month ago there was a lot of buzz on the Fediverse about a new Mastodon server set up by prominent journalists: #TheForkiverse.

There was a rush of sign-ups: nearly 10,000 users in a couple of weeks. People new to the Fediverse, willing to try it out.

It's been hard to gauge how active it still is... so this morning I re-downloaded @IceCubesApp so I could browse their local timeline.

I've been liking and replying to recent posts. Just doing my little in making them feel seen and welcome 🤗

@_elena @IceCubesApp

J'ai jeté un coup d'oeil à #theforkiverse j''y ai vu ceci :

Et ça valait totalement la peine.

@thathackergirl thank you! 🥰 this is precisely why I'm so excited by people like @maddyteichmann and #theforkiverse community joining the fediverse

Made a Forkiverse Tight Five app where you put in the date range of Forkiverse posts you want a tight five standup based on (complete with an AI voice of your choice to say it!)

(I made it so you gotta use your own anthropic key for this cuz I'm a cheapo)

Welcome to the Fediverse! ☀️ As you settle in, you might meet people who try to tell you there are "rules" for how to post. Don't let them ruin your experience!

Giving advice when nobody asked for it is usually about control, not help. It's a sign that the other person isn't respecting your space.

To keep your energy high and your mind clear, try these 3 simple tools:

1. The Quick Clean: Deleting a mean comment is a great way to show yourself respect

2. Energy Saving: You don't have to talk to everyone just because you use the same hashtag

3. The Block Button: Blocking is your best friend—it stops entitlement and you don't owe anyone an explanation

The Fediverse is about being diverse, not being the same. You are the boss of your own digital home. Use your filters to keep your space peaceful so you can keep growing! ⚖️🐈‍⬛

@evan Evan you're right! Trying to speak for the "entire" Fediverse is a major lack of System Awareness. These self-appointed experts are often just trying to override a newcomer's experience to satisfy their own need for control!

I call this a sign of low emotional hygiene. To help folks protect their peace, I suggest these 3 System Updates:

1. Boundary Calibration: Deleting a comment is a high-value act of Self-Respect

2. Energy Filtering: You don't owe anyone your Circuitry just because you share a digital space

3. Silent Power: A hard block is the best firewall against entitlement

We don't need to argue with these glitches; we just need to refine our filters. If someone is being disrespectful, blocking is a valid tool for keeping your internal world clear.

Thanks for standing up for the diversity of the open web! ☀️

#theforkiverse #Fediverse #SelfRespect

One thing that's tough for people who just join the Fediverse, like most of the folks on #theforkiverse , is that there are self-appointed experts who reply to their public posts saying that "the Fediverse" doesn't like that kind of content.

This is untrue. They don't speak for all of us. Nobody does. You can't spell "Fediverse" without "diverse"; for good or ill, there are different viewpoints on almost any topic found here.

Why is #theforkiverse recommending I follow @Casey but not @kevin ?

hi from the mastodon app, I had to figure out how to write a post again, here I am

@FinchHaven @stefan I don’t think they ever claimed to have invented anything new. What they did is, they opened the concept of the Fediverse to a new audience. As a complete noob to the entire concept, I was intimidated to even try it. Exploring the decentralized web through the safety of #theforkiverse — a place where I automatically have the podcast in common with users — has opened my eyes to your world. Be kind to us, newcomers.

@Casey Thanks for keeping up with the overflow. You guys rock! #theforkiverse

I vibecoded another lil app where you Shazam a song and it tells you what movie (and scene) it’s in. Fun for car trips. Enjoy!
