Hey Fediverse šŸ‘‹

We’re GoFedi. And we're here to help you launch your own Fediverse community without all the tech headaches.

We host it, you own it.

@gofedi

Awesome! Who is ā€œweā€? Where is hosting?

@yawnbox We’re Chris Trottier (@atomicpoet) and Basit Ali (@rjbasitali).

Hosting is entirely based in Canada.

@gofedi
Is there such a thing as Fediverse for Dummies?
Because I need that.

@BrendaAnna Someone wrote Mastodon for Dummies.

@gofedi Thank you! I’ll try to find it in the library!
@gofedi Hey, I'm one of the SpaceHost clients, and I'm wondering if'n you're going to be able to help me, as I'm on Friendica, something SpaceHost was the only hosted service for.

@vextaur We absolutely can help migrate your server to GoFedi.

Submit your email here and SpaceHost will send you the next steps for server migration:

GoFedi — Migrate Your SpaceHost Server

SpaceHost is sunsetting. Keep your Fediverse server online with a fully managed migration to GoFedi. Drop your email to get coordinated.

@gofedi Yep, did it, was a bit concerned as Friendica isn't on your hosting list.
@vextaur We're definitely supporting Friendica.

I am developing a new type of ActivityPub-enabled platform. Can you email to my work address if it is possible to list my software as an option too?

I would be happy to help maintenance.

@islekcaganmert That sounds really interesting! Always great to see new ActivityPub platforms being developed.

We’re currently focused on supporting a few core software options for launch, but we’re open to exploring additional ones once things stabilize. We’d definitely like to learn more about what you’re building—feel free to DM a short overview or link, and we can stay in touch about potential inclusion down the line.

You're going to have to put a lot more information on your current website before that's not sketch af =/

@TheRealPomax An FAQ will be added to the site soon. A lot more info can be found here:

If there's anything else you'd like to know, ask away.

Why did I start @gofedi? The short answer: I co-founded another Fediverse hosting service called @spacehost. But for several reasons—which I won’t get into here—I stepped away in January 2024.Then ...

@gofedi not much info on your website. Who are you? Where are you based? Where are the servers located that you are doing the hosting on? How does pricing work?

@liaizon Would love to answer. So here goes.

"Who are you?"

@atomicpoet and @rjbasitali

"Where are we based?"

Canada.

"Where are servers located?"

Canada.

"How does pricing work?"

It will be similar to @spacehost.

@gofedi Sounds interesting. Still a lot to do and a lot to answer looking at the comments.

Give a shout once the website has more to share.

@gofedi oh neat! do you support single user instances or is it largely to serve community building? what are the rates?
@gofedi Hi - Are you taking signups yet? Thanks.
