<![CDATA[I heard that the server #theForkiverse may shut down soon.]]>I heard that the server may shut down soon. No surprise, its admins have stopped communicating on it MONTHS ago.

A moment of gratitude to the for bringing 10k new people to the Fediverse... and with 750+ sticking around 🥳

(Please backup your account and move to a new server ASAP)

I'm especially grateful for @jonassmith who tried out the Forkiverse, loved it so much that he brought the place where he works - the National Gallery of Denmark! - on the Fediverse: @smk 🚀

We tried, and failed, briefly to find a common place to move. Quite a few, if not most in that group, went to sunny garden. Hopefully we all find a place to me, or to move on further if our new place is not fitting

They say it was an experiment. For some of us test subjects, it was a good experience and we tried to keep it alive and want to stay around. If the intro was their only intention, then I'll count it as success. If they had, or promised us, a well-moderated long-term home, then they forgot the work after that initial birth. Those who want to be here will figure it out 😊 thanks to you and all for a warm welcome back then and now during our migration ❤️

I had given up on social media previously yet very much crave the potential for connection it still holds. And I'm very grateful to anyone who helps to nuture that potential on to fruition.

Makes sense now.

I know they're very busy journalists but they did such a terrible job nurturing the community, sigh. It takes more than renting a server and inviting people on it ... I hope other people will notice and move in time.

Thank you for being here Kristine! ❤️

Or godspeed as they said. Happy to be here 🙏❤️
