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 (npub1cnh…wtw0) 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 🤗
