Suggested things to do:
  • Start a server! If you haven’t, this is a great first step.
  • Write an article or blog post about the Fediverse.
  • Help others. Write documentation, create graphics like logos and banners for instances, or just provide tech support.
If you’re a developer, here are some suggested projects:…or anything else that improves the Fediverse! Start a fork, a community, or whatever other idea you want! #hackiverse

Three cheers!

The health and novelty of the Fediverse is many instances partially overlapping (instead of a few big ones, or one giant one). To that end, starting an instance is good for the one-to-few users and good for the Fediverse as a whole.

There is a getting-there app called "Social" that is built into NextCloud, and there are many free / cheap NextCloud providers. This is about the lowest bar I know to staring an instance.

You can bring your Wordpress blog into the Fediverse. Pretty low bar too.
