#FediForum starts today! Come hang out on this page for our live commentary and news updates: https://wedistribute.org/2024/09/fediforum-september-2024/

In the development and building of a shared, open, collaborative network, efforts have come and gone over the years for the #Fediverse. We dig into the history, various attempts, and some of the ideas people have had. https://wedistribute.org/2024/09/history-fediverse-symbol/

New logo, who dis? 👀

As the #Fediverse continues to grow, people are looking to build new experiences that change what's possible on the network today. #Flohmarkt is a nascent project intended for selling personal items, and may be the first attempt of its kind here. https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/flohmarkt-federated-market/

We want to start actively promoting #Nostr events on our site. These include game jams, hackathons, art collabs, unconferences, live listens, and webinars. We're currently looking at using an events calendar on our site, with the goal of integrating it with the greater Social Web. This includes ActivityPub, Bluesky, and Nostr. If you're an event organizer, and would like to have something included on our calendar, give us a shout!

Check it out! Flipboard has officially announced a new milestone in their embrace of the #Fediverse - now, any Flipboard user can follow a Fediverse account in their feed. We're one step closer to greater publishing and curation across the network! https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/flipboard-fediverse-following/

Within the last few years, publishing within the #Fediverse has started to take off. This week's opinion piece focuses on some of the current hurdles this network has, when it comes to user experience, and proposes ideas and a vision of what's possible. https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/fediverse-publishing/
