Dear Fedi friends,
I want to share a discovery that made my MONTH.
10 days ago, while I was putting together the slides for my presentation at Berlin #FediDay, I noticed a new entry in the @cercle directory (the Mastodon instance set up by the Service Numérique of the French Ministry of Culture):
✨ @MuseeOrsay ✨
Ouiiiiii!
Paris' super prestigious museum - that welcomed 7.3 million visitors last year - is now on the #Fediverse !!! 🥳
Let's give Musée d'Orsay a warm welcome ❤️
@MuseeOrsay Welcome to the fediverse! I try to visit you IRL every time I'm in Paris 😊
Feel free to reach out if you need help to get your profile verified.
@_elena @cercle @MuseeOrsay bienvenue ici, cher musée parmi mes préférés :)

So wonderful! What a great start!! Thanks so much Elena. 🤗🙏🏻
@_elena @cercle @MuseeOrsay and they’re writing alt text!
@_elena @cercle @MuseeOrsay Und das erste, was auf deren Pinnwand erscheint, ist ein bretonisches Motiv. Perfekt für Keltophile wie mich!
@_elena Amazing! Love to see this more and more - La France is doing some great things with open source, open social web, etc. 👏🏼
@_elena
Great! Looks like they joined in 2022 already.
@cercle @MuseeOrsay
@miiko no actually that's not the year, but the date... July 22nd (2026). I had completely missed it!
