Organisations Self-publishing on ActivityPub

Organisations that are hosting their own Open Social services. These are typically for internal use by staff or social media teams, but can be free...

Let me know if you have charities, NGOs, governments, companies, media, news, weather... anything I can add! EDIT: Thank you! So many great suggestions! The spreadsheet now has... drumroll.... 98 entries. I'd love to get that to 100 today.

🐟 Idle new business thought for the day: Seafood restaurant called "Sofishticated" and all menu items are terrible puns. So far I've got "Shrimply Irresistible", "Prawn to be Wild" and "Just for the Halibut". If you're hooked on this idea, add your suggestions for the menu below.

Wow, what a #FediForum ! Great to see and hear old friends, meet new ones, so much to take away, so many people heartily engaged in building ethical, safe, civil spaces. Invigorated, tired, next job will be reading all the notes for all the sessions I couldn't get to. If you couldn't attend, the notes and demos are usually online pretty quickly at

FediForum: moving the Open Social Web forward

So much talk at #FediForum about local communities, and self-publishers. I curate two maps, one for local- or language-centric fedi communities, and another for organisations who self-host and self-publish on ActivityPub. I am always open to suggestions for additions!

I just witnessed the world premiere of an amazing four minute fediverse video. I am maniacally reloading the page where I expect the video to be made public, I cannot wait to share this. I'm not ashamed to say, I cried a little bit. Stay tuned. And massive kudos and thanks to [@_elena](

On big social, you yell into the void. On open social, you yell into thousands of interconnected, slightly different voids. And sometimes, you find a void that truly understands you.

It's that time again! Heading to #FediForum to join developers, advocates and #Fediverse folks moving the open social web forward. Three days, lots of news and demos, can't wait to hear from all the participants, see old friends and maybe meet some new ones!

If anyone knows anything about how to become a small sponsor at the Eisteddfod, or any other way of engaging with the Eisteddfod, please reach out to me, I'm interested in highlighting/showcasing Tŵt to the Maes visitors. I wish I could be there to run a small stall, but I don't think I can make that happen this year. Side note, 10% of all posts on Tŵt are yn Gymraeg!
