A federated social network for individuals and communities to design, operate and control their own digital lives.

Bonfire is one of the fediverse projects I’m most excited about right now. I hope they don’t get too bogged down in organizational work right now. They’re awfully close to version 1.0

Please forgive if this sounds ignorant, but is this a tool to install on servers to create your own version of a federated app, like Lemmy / Mastodon / Pixelfed?

Or is this completely new, other social network, like a standalone social network of itself, like a Lemmy / a Mastodon / a Peertube?

Still trying to grasp the fediverse concepts.

AFAIK Bonfire is similar to Mastodon and compatible with it, just more modular.

Actually created an account on there a few days ago, so will try that, but wasn’t able to find a beehaw post when testing earlier…

Thanks for explaining! Trying it now on their test instance and it is super slow. Looks great, but can’t see text when typing, won’t post. :-(

Probably very early days. (On iOS using safari)

A really interesting platform!

Sounds pretty awesome.

TheFediverse needs women. The decision to allow weird porn to be all through the all section will result in a user base skewed heavily male.

A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”.
