Adventure through the Fediverse – Day 1
This isn't the first time I've dipped my toes into the fediverse. I actually made my mastodon.social account back in 2019. Frankly, I don't remember what prompted me to do that. I probably saw it on Reddit and was curious enough to try.
Funny thing is, Reddit progressively getting worse have encouraged me to look into alternatives again. I tried a few years back but it didn't really stick. I'm hoping the community over at beehaw.org is friendly enough that it'll get me out of my online shell, so to speak. It's only been one day over there, but so far the impression is pretty good!
Getting that all set up got me more interested in other federated software. It's how I came across paper.wf. I want to write a webserial and while other places might boast better support for discovery and whatnot, I like that a federated network means people don't have to make a whole new account just to follow a paper.wf (writefreely) account. I like the minimal design of writefreely, and that I'm free to make adjustments to the appearance. I want to keep it simple though. Stick with lower contrast. I might do more if the need arises.
