GhilaneFinding genuine human conversations on the Fediverse
Lately, I’ve been feeling that genuine human conversations on the Fediverse are becoming harder to come across.
Personally, I spend time every day searching for meaningful exchanges, spontaneous discussions, and diverse perspectives… yet I often end up encountering automated content, inactive accounts, or posts that feel disconnected from real dialogue.
After several hours of daily searching, I sometimes end up putting my phone down, telling myself I’ll try again tomorrow—hoping there will be more life, more interaction, more humanity.
I’m not saying it no longer exists—but rather that it feels more scattered, harder to reach.
So I’d like to open a discussion:
How do you manage to find interesting and authentic conversations on the Fediverse?
Is it a matter of communities, curated lists, keywords, instances, or simply patience?
I’m genuinely curious about your methods and experiences.

Federated MindThis week, we map the visual layer of the fediverse with current numbers (June 2026): Pixelfed, Loops, PeerTube, and ... Flickr?
Pixelfed: ~100K MAU across 700 servers. @dansup has been building it for eight years, mostly alone, turning down VC offers and funding it through a Kickstarter that raised CA$138K for a nonprofit foundation.
Loops: federated short-form video, also by dansup. mid-4,000s MAU, 26 servers. opt-in algorithmic feed (the default is chronological), trust-score moderation, no AI training on user content.
PeerTube: 47K MAU across 1,500+ servers. Framasoft (French nonprofit). the most infrastructure-heavy platform on the fediverse.
The visual web is the most expensive layer of the internet to decentralize. None of this was built on venture-scale economics.
Part 2 of the Fediverse Beyond Mastodon series.

Meta started blocking links to Pixelfed in January 2025 which had the reverse effect - the flagship instance gained 200,000+ new accounts.

Part 2 of the Fediverse Beyond Mastodon series. Part 3 will cover writing platforms: Ghost, WriteFreely, and micro.blog.
