Today we're also opening https://surf.social on the web to let anyone surf the whole social web including over 130K feeds that bring together people, podcasts, YouTube channels, newsletters, blogs and images for whatever you're into.

I've been looking forward to today for 2.5 years and am so grateful to be a part of building the social web. Thank you to all who have helped and inspired us.

@mike any referral code available ?
@lafonjm It's avail to everyone on the web and android. iOS is still in testflight. if you sign up for the iOS beta at waitlist.surf.social we'll work to get you in. There's a max of 10K users on testflight so we've had to be careful about how many folks we let in.
@mike just use mastodon lol
@mike or you could just use Mastodon?

@mike love the idea, it's a pain to cross-link all the socials scattered across the web.

I'd like to ask how it's financed? Ads, selling user data, etc.?
