      • My ultimate goal is to move boneheadmedia to Socialhome and make it my personal site such as Jason Robinsonhas done. He is one of the devs of Socialhome and has made it look just like a website.

      Fediverse Party 2019 review

      Some interesting Numbers
      • 1000 new servers online

        • -1.8 million newcommers

        • Top 5 servers growth was Pleroms, Mastodon, WriteFreely, Pixelfed and PeerTube.
        • Misskey, Plume and Funkwhale grew as well
        • 13 new networks expressed a wish to become part of Fediverse!
        • But the big problem still remains. People are still flocking to big servers and not enough small ones. Reminder that the idea of decntralized is everybody hosts their own. Which I understand is not feaseable for most people.

          Socialhome is best described as a #federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using #Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the #ActivityPub and #Diaspora protocols.
