  1. Looks like the novelty of #TheForkiverse has worn off and the amount of active members has dropped from ~3000 a few months ago, to ~800 now. There are a total of 10k users registered.

    That raises the question why this happens. 10k users from an established community should establish a network effect, I'd think. So, why are they leaving? Has the joke worn off? Is Mastodon still too hard in UX? Something else?

    I think this should be a useful case study for Mastodon developers all around, especially if it is UX related.

  10. @pjvogt #theforkiverse Hey PJ. Love your show! I’ve been thinking a lot about the definition of a friend. And I’ve been wondering, in the age of social media and isolation, what is a friend anymore? If we were to ask people across the generations for an example of a friend, how far apart from one another would they be? There’s been research about friendships being the key to health and overall longevity. Who is even able to have these kind of friendships these days?

  20. #TheForkiverse It's amazing how a couple of random interactions can lift your mood. Not waiting or even if thinking of "likes" but just people making a connection for a time over something they share. I'd been on Mastodon (fosstodon.org) for about a year but it was too niche and i didn't make enough connections. I'm making a few now and it's making the internet great again. #forkiverse

  25. Hi everyone,

    If you are using hastags with multiple words, please use camel case.

    #LikeThisExample

    Not #likethisexample

    Why?

    A) Screen readers will see a bunch of letters that doesn't make one word and read out each individual letter. Which makes it hard to understand.

    B) For us sighted people, it is also easier to read.

    Thanks you

  40. A month ago there was a lot of buzz on the Fediverse about a new Mastodon server set up by prominent journalists: #TheForkiverse.

    There was a rush of sign-ups: nearly 10,000 users in a couple of weeks. People new to the Fediverse, willing to try it out.

    It's been hard to gauge how active it still is... so this morning I re-downloaded @IceCubesApp so I could browse their local timeline.

    I've been liking and replying to recent posts. Just doing my little in making them feel seen and welcome 🤗
