WOW! The BBC now has an instance!

"The team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the #BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the Fediverse... This is an experiment - we will run it for 6 months, and then look at how much value it has provided"

Yes, and as it is a six month experiment, important that those who care about the Fediverse help boost this and offer help to them to make the promise of what they could do here real quickly...
