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 so.. whatβs the server? Xd

@_elena @IceCubesApp I never really understood how mastodon etc worked or what they were for until the forkiverse happened.
It feels like ive finally found βmyβ social media.

R relay@relay.an.exchange shared this topic

@_elena some men would rather boil the oceans than read a README I guess

οΈ@Floppy right?? It's all right there, written in explicit steps by the humans who maintain and run masto instances...
Nevermind just asking people for help online. So many fedi/masto admins, being enthusiasts, are so generous with their time helping new operators get set up.

@Alsy it took a while for it to click for me and I bounced off once or twice, but aye, now I get it

@_elena I thought journa.host was the main journalist server - worth looking through the profiles for both!

@bammerlaan ok so:
1) tap the three little dots in the top right
2) select edit timelines
3) click on the plus sign (top right)
4) select + local
5) type whichever server you want to explore
6) go back to the home feed, click on the Home pulldown menu and select the local server you're interested in(admittedly, it's a little complicated, in IceCubes it's more intuitive)

if the use of LLMs makes you angry, it's a bit of a challenge to get past the beginning, but worth it

@_elena thank you! Some of us are still around and not planning to leave
@Kristine thank you for being here Kristine!
The advantage of the Fediverse is that even if your server shuts down, you could migrate your account and your followers to a different server. I'm sure there are DOZENS of people on the Fediverse willing to help you out, if it ever came to that.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions or need help

@brianrepko yes! today I found out that press.coop is no more (I can't connect to it) but journa.host is amazing
