@kevin I'm genuinely trying. It's an experiment. I'm curious to see where it goes.

@kevin if we can crack an atomic network then this has potential.

[mikem@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin We're all working to make you upgrade to the inter galactic plan.

its used less than what some people will say, but a lot more than what other people will say

[iriyan@kolektiva.social]

Shhhhhh!

@kevin I am already having anxiety that it will be dead by next week, while everyone is so nice on the #forkiverse

@kevin Fediverse is wide and open. My little self-hosted Mastodon instance has over 5451272 public statuses, 2794300 tags and 329263 accounts in Elasticsearch and I recently rebuilt my ElasticSearch database from scratch. I use my instance search, and even have it setup in my browser as my search engine, first before Google Search or DuckDuckGo because the posts and content topics, many containing outside links, are many. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/elasticsearch/

@kevin thanks for starting the party!

[jerome@jasette.facil.services]

@kevin yes! Welcome

[jsit@social.coop]

@kevin Using Mastodon? Yeah we’ve been here this whole time man, welcome

[jsit@social.coop]

@kevin Or I guess you mean using your new instance.

[seanharding@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin Looks like it's beyond 2k users now. Is that not actually a hard limit?

[scottjenson@social.coop]

@kevin Welcome! There are MANY things to complain about with the Fediverse but detracters tend to overlook the many positive things about it. I left 30k followers on Twitter to "only" 6K here but my interactions and discussions are far better than what I had there.

It's still fairly small and the community is mostly technical but we're taking a "Long Now" approach here (not a silicon valley burst mode)

[nshivar@mastodon.online]

@kevin YES! Welcome!

[ikesau@micro.ikesau.co]

@kevin hell yeah

[crob@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin uh we're gonna need a bigger boat...

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@kevin Fediverse is pretty neat, once you get into it!

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@matthijs @kevin don’t worry, fedi has been around for a good while and is certainly not going anywhere soon

[liquor_american@universeodon.com]

@kevin You're late
