What is the Fediverse?
You may have noticed that I have started to include links to Mastodon in my blog footers. I have probably neglected, however, to explain what this is.
Rather than re-invent the wheel by creating yet another page of text to explain this. I am going to provide some links below to video resources that can offer a much better explanation.
Firstly
As this is part of the Fediverse then an explanation of this is also useful.
Finally an explanation of the protocol that helps all these platforms communicate.
Final notes
In my blog footer, I am linking to the instance that I am using, However readers in the United Kingdom may be interested in the local UK hosted instances.
If anyone knows of any instances that are hosted in Ireland then I can update this post accordingly.
Self Hosting
Of course you could simply host your own instance. MastoHost offer managed hosting.
I can be contacted on Mastodon here.
