The aim of Fedi.Garden is to help people discover small and medium sized servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse.

All of the servers listed comply with the Mastodon Covenant (joinmastodon.org/covenant), have fewer than 50,000 members and are open for public signups. They can be any sort of Fediverse server.

If you run such an instance, send me a message if you'd like to be listed.

It's awesome to see you championing the fediverse via Mastodon!

Are you aware of Castopod?
It appears to be less accessible to non-technical folks at the moment, as I'm not aware of any public instances or aided-hosting solutions.

I'm curious to hear your opinion of it, whether you would use it, and what it would take to get you to use it.

As amazing as this game is, itโ€™s very strange they are raising the price on a game that has been released for so many years.

If they were trying to get more cash flow after hitting a market saturation of sorts, this is not the way to go about it.



5 towering men filed into our conference room in the Hart Senate office building.

โ€œHello little lady,โ€ one lightheartedly greeted me, glancing back at the door as if still waiting for someone.

โ€œItโ€™s nice to meet you,โ€ I began. โ€œWhat brings you here today?โ€

The group shifted in their seats, perhaps mildly irritated. I guessed they expected to speak directly with a U.S. senator rather than the 25yo woman sitting across from them.

Just installed @icecubesapp, which like @ivory, is an iOS app for Mastodon that was released today.

Unlike @ivory, @icecubesapp is open source. It also has a wildly different UI/UX.

@patrickstewart Interoperability means that you can seamlessly follow a Pixelfed account from your Mastodon account. It does not mean you have to be able to use Pixelfed from a Mastodon app or vice versa.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @patrickstewart A certain amount of interoperability for microblogging apps would be nice though, like using Pleroma on a Mastodon app.

Speaking of which, what name do you use to refer to the entire group of microblogging platforms, like when you want to talk about mastodon/pleroma/akkema/misskey/etc together, but not about pixelfed/peertube/etc? Is there a word for that?

Getting into El Nino (next 3 years) cycle end of this year raises ocean temperature by 0.3 degrees. Means more danger to humans from weather.

I don't understand why these are dropped randomly in separate locations instead of keeping them in one bunch.

Now the return mission will have to visit many locations to retrieve them all.

What Is the reasoning behind this?

Just 16 light-years from us, two Earth-sized planets are hugging their star in its habitable zone (the distance at which liquid water *could* exist on the surface). And their once-fiery star may have mellowed as a host.

A little something of which you are unaware. Early 1920s Thomas Townsend Brown discovered electrogravitics. Now before you think that this is just conspiracy theories, I want you to understand that I donโ€™t deal in those! I have studied the technology for more than 30 years. People say anti-gravity, Brown chose stress and dielectrics. With ion rocket motors, we are limited to 98% of speed of light. Newtonโ€™s third law which states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction does not apply here. First prototype craft flown sometime in 1961. A book published in 1911 by Sir James Jeans which was titled the Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism page 179, last paragraph describes an experiment that he developed that shows that there is a force being created between the plates or electrodes of a capacitor. A free PDF copy of this book on line. My YouTube channel, Ecker2010. If you would like to really know more about this technology you can get in touch with me.
