A most important matter: How is the #forkiverse split
A most important matter: How is the #forkiverse split
@nathanieljwise I love the "all in" approach. Love the #Forkiverse experiment (I manage my own instance). Can you share more about Fedica? I'm curious...
I tried to sign up 2 the #forkiverse ended up on the #mastodon.
Anyone got low-level, fun gossip? Here for inconsequential beefs, harmless arch nemesis meetings, and petty secrets. #forkiverse
Tapping the #forkiverse with an ask for the first time!
I've been haunted by a song I half-remember for 10+ years now. I heard it Halloween ~2010. Every year I try to Google the few details I remember, but with AI its become impossible.
It's a kitschy, rockabilly / horrorbilly bop, and the only words I remember are: "Don't let the dead guy drive / don't let the dead guy dance with your girlfriend."
Anyone heard this before? Please, forkiverse, your my only hope!
Anyone know how to disable the notification sound for this site from the web browser? I see options for email but no notifications settings for the site itself.
I don't need to hear the little notification popping sound when I get a reply and such...
Welcome!
The forkiverse instance has put out some information on making the most of Mastodon and the fediverse for its members.
A few suggestions from someone, who like you, never felt comfortable trying Twitter, threads or Bsky..
- there an unofficial Quick Start guide available through @FediTips as well as numerous articles on how to use the features of Mastodon and other fediverse Activity Pub platforms
- there are some equally unofficial curated topical lists of people and groupbot accounts that you may wish to check out at @FediFollows
- boosting posts helps federate them to servers/instances that the original poster isnโt already federated with
- since there is no referral algorithm, hashtags are one of the key tools for getting your posts seen and for finding ones of interest โ but please list them at the bottom of your posts instead of in the text of your message as they become annoying to those using screen readers
- thereโs an accessibility-positive atmosphere here such that the majority of people add AltText to their images and many will not boost a post with an image on without an AltText description. If you donโt have the spoons yourself to add a description, use the hashtag #Alt4me to request assistance.
@david_kehm I love imagining the #forkiverse as the Portland of the internet ๐
Made a big squiggly charcuterie board recently that maybe looks like a manta ray? It's got two recesses for dips/relish and then the rest is angled at the edges to hold crackers/cheese/all the good stuff our hearts desire. I love how fluid it looks #pottery #ceramics #crafts #forkiverse

I remember someone in the #forkiverse asking about where to find #scientists on the Fediverse; while I canโt find that post/comment now, this is a physicist hosted on an instance thatโs all about #science and scientists! @Casey, maybe this would be appealing to Forkizens/Forkiversians/the people on your instance?
Pretty sure this Portlandia video is just resonating 100% forkiverse vibes!
When listening to the #forkiverse episodes, did you originally think it was spelled...
Especially for all the new #Forkiverse folks to know!
Two Guys Walk Into the Forkiverse
Season 1, Episode 1 Teaser: The Forkiverse Begins. Nobody knows what happens next. Spoiler: it's gold."
Spotted these two on my way to the cinema last night ๐
Hey #forkiverse here are my baby chickens.
Relevant to the interests of the #forkiverseโฆ
Hi, welcome to the #Forkiverse, where even me, your common shitposter may write something that you may relate to, and then I will promptly ruin it. What Mastodon giveth, Mastodon taketh away!
Good evening #forkiverse ๐๐ผ๐ (it's nearly midnight here oopsie)
On today's quest for the average #searchengine listener:
What generation are you part of?
As always: Forklift this post to have it reach more people!
I wonder if any people who joined the #forkiverse would be interested in Bookwyrm, the Fediverse competitor to Goodreads. You can follow an account there from Mastodon. Or have an account both places and boost a Bookwyrm post here. Lots of folks on my Mastodon server also use Bookwyrm.
