I'm curious, how much does it cost you, monthly, on average, to participate in the fediverse?

Including voluntary donations to your server admins, fediverse apps and other software, your own server, etc. Any money you spend directly towards keeping the fediverse going.

Raw numbers are perhaps not enough to get across just how bad the centralisation of the Fediverse by mastodon.social is. I've done a chart to show this visually, hopefully this will make the situation clearer?

Given the circumstances, getting people to join other servers except mastodon.social would greatly help decentralise the Fediverse. It's no longer big vs medium vs small, it's more like supergiant deathstar mastodon.social vs everyone else 😞

#Mastodon #Fediverse #MastodonSocial

Graph showing twelve different Mastodon servers with their percentage of the active Fediverse on the Y axis. Mastodon.social has almost 30% of active Fediverse users while all other servers have about 1% or less.

Caption under chart says "Largest Mastodon servers vs % of active Fediverse, 21st November 2025, data from FediDB.com"

Another caption next to the bar for mastodon.social says "Percentage occupied by mastodon.social is growing! It used to be less than 15%! JoinMastodon.org and official Mastodon apps are STILL promoting mastodon.social!"

Hah! I knew it. I knew the fediverse would pop up as I explore Gemini. Adding this to my collection of platforms to try.

Interesting history of the fediverse from @jdp23

Lots to take in. Bookmarked so I can follow the reference links later.

We'd like to introduce the #Fedify project family—a set of related tools that make building #ActivityPub applications more accessible:

@Fedify

@Fedify (@fedify) is a #TypeScript library for building federated server applications powered by ActivityPub and other #fediverse standards. It provides type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary, WebFinger client/server, HTTP Signatures, and more—eliminating boilerplate code so you can focus on your application logic.

@Hollo

@Hollo (@hollo) is a single-user microblogging server powered by Fedify. While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.

Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.

@BotKit

@BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).

BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!

All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.

If you're interested in trying any of these projects or contributing to their development, check out:

Fedify: https://fedify.dev/
Hollo: https://docs.hollo.social/
BotKit: https://botkit.fedify.dev/

I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.

To people outside the Fediverse.

To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.

To people who recently joined the Fediverse.

And more.

...

What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

(Reply with your answers.)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@AwetTesfaiesus/116514953039588679

As some of you have already guessed: the progressive parties in German politics (and the social democrats 😉) have jointly decided to leave the manipulative and abusive cesspit that twitter has turned into. I‘m very happy and also a little proud of this.
If you want want to do me a favor, be ready to welcome an influx of mildly woke people.

We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism.
Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby.
Imagine your local fablab or community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there.
🔧 https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/1444

This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together 🔥

Looking through the list of the 2026 Pulitzer Prize winners, I wonder how many of these journalists and organizations have an active fediverse presence.

🌐 Co děláme v rámci Oscloud

Budujeme a provozujeme komunitní služby pro Fediverse a otevřený internet:

• Mamutovo.cz – Mastodon instance pro komunitu
• VHSky.cz – PeerTube pro sdílení videí bez reklam
• Pixelfed – alternativa k Instagramu bez sledování
• MXChat – Matrix komunikace pro komunitu
• Oscloud – zázemí a služby pro provoz aplikací a projektů

Brzy představíme i naši novou službu.

Cílem je nabídnout svobodné, otevřené a soukromí respektující služby bez reklam, bez profilování a bez vendor lock-inu.

Vše běží jako komunitní projekt a je zdarma pro uživatele.
Za tím je ale reálná infrastruktura, čas a náklady.

Od dubna navýšil ceny serverů Hetzner, takže provoz je teď náročnější než dřív.

Pokud ti tyhle projekty dávají smysl a používáš je, zvaž prosím dobrovolnou podporu:
https://oscloud.cz/co-to-bude-stat/

Pomůže to udržet stabilní provoz, pokrýt náklady a posouvat věci dál.

Díky všem, kdo tu tvoří komunitu ❤️

"The more the Fediverse can be baked into systems already in use, as with the Wordpress plugin and Ghost 6.0, the easier it will be to make connections without platform or protocol battles." - @michael
