UPDATE: Yesterday, I posted about hey.cafe — a fully Canadian alternative to Facebook.

They got SWAMPED with people. More than doubled their user base in a few hours.

Doors are still open, but they're capping new accounts at 250 per hour. So if you get a "we're full right now" message, just try again in a couple of hours. 🙂

@tod Is this built on Frendica? /can it federate?

@alexblock @tod

Came here to ask those exact questions! 😄

Had a look around the About sections but wasn't able to find details - what's this built on?

@technically_good @tod I see the code is on GitHub, but a platform that doesn't support ActivityPub and can't federate isn't so super great... Last year I thought of spinning up a Frendica instance, but never got around to it...
