Fediverse things!

[eggsbenedict]

Hey, it was so good to see everyone again! :D

Here's a PDF of my presentation, and below are links to a bunch of things I mentioned. Happy to answer any questions here, Discord or anywhere else you can talk to me!

Fandom friendly instances

This is a very informal list. To stave off any potential drama, I am only listing the admins because there is a non-zero chance you may know one of them and this may influence your personal choice of instance. You can always follow people on other instances, as long as your instance admins haven't decided to suspend/block each other.

• apobangpo.space (Kpop fandom, admin: jokaydia)
• blorbo.social (general fandom, admins: lookatmychicken + tabby) - I can post an invite code under lock, but the admins just want some indication that you are a fandomer
• federatedfandom.net (general fandom, admins: stopthatimp + madecunningly)
• fandom.ink (general fandom, admin: alis)
• sakurajima.moe (Japanese media fandom, admin: chikorita157)
• urusai.social (Japanese media fandom, admin: neatchee)

Beginner sites/guides

• Fedi.Garden (curated list of nice smaller instances, not just Mastodon ones)
• Fedi.Tips (comprehensive beginner guide and tips)

Apps

Here are some apps I've used or people I know have used. Official apps are free, some apps are paid but often worth it.

• Ivory (iOS)
• Moshidon (Android, this is what I currently use)
• Tusky (Android)
• Otherwise: all the apps, including the official iOS/Android app, web and desktop clients, and some delightfully arcane retro computing options

I'm also using...

• pixelfed.au (general insta clone, admin: shlee)
• misskey-square.net (chill Japanese misskey server, admin: yuriha)
