Hey #forkiverse people, and everyone else who has joined us recently!

You might be just learning about the thing that makes fediverse special, that it's made up of many communities spread across many servers running different platforms.

Now, I won't bore anyone with how all that works, but here are two cool ways to visualize this.

- https://data.stefanbohacek.com/projects/fediverse lets you see which servers you are connected to (I made this one!)
- https://moderation-explorer.online helps you understand the shared responsibility of fediverse moderators

Hope you'll enjoy!

This also nicely shows you how resilient the fediverse can be. In my case, if mastodon.social, the largest fediverse server, goes down, I can still interact with 80% of the people I follow and who follow me.

Neat!

Another thing that makes the fediverse special? An edit button to fix your typos.

@Heliograph @stefan

I remember the days when mastodon didn't have an edit button, and all of my broken threads because of the "delete and re-draft" button

@futureisfoss Mastodon sure has come a long way!

@stefan Thanks for the info, so very cool to see the visualization.

@stefan it is so interesting to see that I have ~3 connections per server and not single server goes above 16% of all the connections.

If nothing goes fundamentaly bad with the federation I shouldn't loose much at the same time.

@stefan What's #forkiverse? I can see it trending on my instance, but I don't get why the hype. Is it a new Mastodon server?

@michal Hej, nový Mastodon server: https://ravenation.club/@mntyfrsh/115868047574742572

Pretty cool podcast episode about three guys (@[email protected] and @[email protected] of Hard Fork, and @[email protected] of Search Engine and Reply All) setting up a Mastodon server called the #Forkiverse. There's also a pretty sweet melodic breaks track at the end of the episode that I need to know the name of (or at least the artist)! https://pca.st/episode/e099edae-aa41-4777-b1df-7024c6998e28
