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

Thats so great to hear!
I'd love to learn more about it too.
You mentioned that nearly 10,000 users joined in a couple of weeks thats amazing!
Were they all journalists, or was it a mix of journalists and people from the Fediverse who wanted to be part of a community started by them?Im really curious how it's grown since then.
Thanks for doing your part to make them feel welcome!

@Stomata if you listen to the podcast announcing this experiment, they used LLMs to get advice about how to actually set up a Mastodon server... so I'm not surprised

@_elena@mastodon.social yeah I listened to that search engine episode, also hard fork podcast does talk a lot about vibecoding, they kind of had a episode on it just before spinning up the instance

@_elena @IceCubesApp As my first real home in the Fediverse I've found it pretty great. Shared love of podcasts makes it easy to start conversations
