A month ago there was a lot of buzz on the Fediverse about a new Mastodon server set up by prominent journalists: #TheForkiverse.

Thats so great to hear!
I'd love to learn more about it too.
You mentioned that nearly 10,000 users joined in a couple of weeks thats amazing!
Were they all journalists, or was it a mix of journalists and people from the Fediverse who wanted to be part of a community started by them?Im really curious how it's grown since then.
Thanks for doing your part to make them feel welcome!
@abbas_dp it's all regular people who love the Hard Fork podcast (by Kevin and Casey) and PJ's Search Engine.
Stats aren't entire accurate, but here they are: https://fedidb.com/servers/theforkiverse.com

@Stomata if you listen to the podcast announcing this experiment, they used LLMs to get advice about how to actually set up a Mastodon server... so I'm not surprised
@_elena@mastodon.social yeah I listened to that search engine episode, also hard fork podcast does talk a lot about vibecoding, they kind of had a episode on it just before spinning up the instance

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 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
@_elena @IceCubesApp As my first real home in the Fediverse I've found it pretty great. Shared love of podcasts makes it easy to start conversations

@_elena @IceCubesApp I never really understood how mastodon etc worked or what they were for until the forkiverse happened.
It feels like ive finally found ‘my’ social media.
