🔥 We are excited to let everyone know that our full website is now live!

We hope this will be an easy way for new users to get started with #Mastodon & join the wider #Fediverse & an organizing hub to build & spread a better, more open social web of ALL fediverse offerings.

With the #RedditMigration in full force & the likely #Barcelona launch bringing new attention to the Fediverse it is all the more urgent to help #TakeBackSocial

Kbin had a successful round of funding thru NLNet https://nlnet.nl/project/Kbin and has already pulled in about 3k thru donations at https://buymeacoffee.com/kbin
The really shows how much support we have right now for alternative self hosted infrastructure and I hope prompts even more people to step up and help build this thing we call the #fediverse together.

Kitsune is a new project that has joined the fediverse recently. It's mostly written in Rust and intends on Mastodon API compatibility so it can use the existing app ecosystem. It also just got initial support for viewing full PeerTube and Lemmy posts!

You can learn more at https://joinkitsune.org, and you can follow the development from here at @dev, which is being posted from a Kitsune server! Here is an example post on a live server you can look at as well https://dev.joinkitsune.org/posts/01884a6b-fb67-7d69-a7eb-7aef52fceeb0 #fediverse

THREAD: I made a series of images for an Instagram post I made about migrating to the fediverse. I figured I'd share with anyone else who wants to use, so I included some blank template versions too. DM if you'd like the Adobe Illustrator file so you can make your own edits. And please,comment if I got anything wrong so I can correct it.

Signs of the #RedditMigration in action: Three of the top 6 #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers.

That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength.

@fediversereport @fediversenews @fediverseobserver

Something that should be apparent from the #TwitterMigration is that the real growth doesn’t start until there’s good native apps from Android and iOS.

Jerboa for Android and mlem for iOS are good starts but they’re both in alpha, and they mainly support #Lemmy.

I’m not aware of a #Kbin mobile app – especially since Kbin is so new.

But I have no doubt someone is building an app, especially since #Reddit is discontinuing free API access for 3rd party developers by the end of the month.

Some of those app developers will probably want to develop for the #Fediverse soon – if they’re not already.

Well this is fun: The #Federation has joined the #Fediverse! r/StarTrek shuttered and went to a Lemmy instance -- https://startrek.website/ #Reddit #RedditMigration

There is a new #Kbin app in progress by @hariette with the unfinalized name Kmoon. They are planning #Lemmy support as well! The #fediverse is stronger with the growth of the #threadiverse ecosystem

If you're looking for #Reddit alternatives and are wondering what the relevant differences between #Lemmy and #Kbin are, I've found this writeup very helpful:

#RedditMigration Surge

Mastodon is experiencing a pretty significant surge in new users today. Probably because of people leaving Reddit and establishing themselves on the #Fediverse.

#Reddit immigrants welcome to open distributed social media! It is a really good idea to create a #Mastodon account in addition to a #kbin or #Lemmy account to enjoy the full suite of capabilities available to you here.

The #Fediverse is basically the perfect representation of the original internet. A decentralized community.

It was never intended to be as centralized as it is today.

And both Twitter and Reddit are perfect examples to showcase how bad the current situation is.

OK, #RedditMigration here are a few links to help you find a new home in the #Fediverse :

Lemmy: https://join-lemmy.org/, https://infosec.pub/signup, https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

...and create a Mastodon account (https://joinmastodon.org/). We are all connected!

Buen día mastodontes, buen día #fediverse

Honestly, despite the ruckus happening at #Twitter #Reddit and other #SocialMedia, 2023 is the happiest I've been online.
That's because I discovered the idea of the #IndieWeb and also the #fediverse. I just feel more in control now and less manipulated by algorithms.
As a content creator, I feel less helpless & able to reach readers. :)

The ability to control your information flow is priceless!

One can follow Lemmy (and I presume Kbin, though that I have not tested myself) communities directly from any other fedi instance. For example, I am following @technology directly from my account here.

Now that Lemmy/Kbin have become pretty active, this might be a decent way of getting new fedi users to have a better on-boarding experience.

Just suggest a few active communities to them, and bam, plenty of interesting stuff gets boosted into their timeline. 🤔

#Fediverse

Deleted my Reddit account today. What are the Fediverse options? #Mastodon #Fediverse #RedditMigration

Tech Press don’t understand the #Fediverse, so how can they understand its growth?

To hear them talk, most of them believe that #Mastodon and the Fediverse are one and the the same. Some of them go so far as to call the Fediverse the “Mastodon network”.

Which means that they don’t have a clue about what the Fediverse entails, nor how it has grown.

Case in point: between Jan-May 2023, #Misskey and its forks grew by 300,000 accounts. No one in the Tech Press reported this.

Okay, perhaps they didn’t know because the bulk of growth happened in Japan. But still, this is fairly important to know since Misskey is now responsible for generating the bulk of Fediverse content. Even so, Tech Press think the Fediverse is about Mastodon.

And now, #Lemmy and #Kbin are experiencing lots of growth, with both collectively gaining 100,000 users in a week. This is quite a noteworthy event since the #RedditMigration is part and parcel of dissension on #Reddit – a pretty major Big Social platform.

Does the Tech Media report on this? Nope. But again, that’s because they don’t understand the Fediverse nor what it entails.

Then Meta signal that a new project they’re making, #P92 (a.k.a., #Barcelona), will be joining the Fediverse. There’s even screenshots that show this app interacting with remote Fediverse servers.

But instead of reporting about how this will affect the existing Fediverse, press such as the #BBC say this is an altogether different social network than Mastodon.

That’s right! Tech Press don’t even realize P92 will be joining the Fediverse – a social network that already exists!

Is this all ridiculous? Yes.

But this is why we have to be forthright about what the Fediverse is, what it entails, and why it all matters.

We, on the Fediverse, must be our own Press.

@fediversenews

@trankten De a poco a poco la gente se irá dando cuenta y nosotros estaremos aquí para darles la bienvenida a las redes libres y al #fediverse. De igual forma si no se comportan les devolvemos de vuelta.

So, what's going on with all this #RedditMigration #Lemmy #kbin stuff?

Short version. Reddit is a mess. Users are fleeing to the #Fediverse.

There are two Fedi #Reddit alternatives you can join, Lemmy and kbin.

kbin: https://fedia.io/register (also https://kbin.social/register but now slammed)
Lemmy: https://infosec.pub/signup

New migrants please be patient. This is a lot like Nov 2022. It will be choppy, but get sorted out. This is another golden opportunity to break down corporate social media.
