<p>Kia ora fedizens, a few months ago I was shoulder-tapped to take on stewardship of fediverse.party. One of a bunch of websites that aim to gather lots of useful info about the fediverse in one place. This is a project I've been a casual contributor to for years, and I really want to see it maintained. So I said yes.</p><p>(1/2)</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/fediverseparty/" rel="tag">#FediverseParty</a></p>
<p>Does anyone know of musicians that have started using any fediverse services, also beyond Mastodon, to share updates?</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="/tags/maketheswitch/" rel="tag">#MakeTheSwitch</a></p>

<p>Anyone ever consider what all these brilliant minds attempting to squeeze 'decentralization' out of <a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> might be able to accomplish if they unleashed their talents on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>? 🤷</p>

<p>Okay <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a>, I need new comfort reading. Recommend me some <a href="/tags/authors/" rel="tag">#authors</a>.

<p>Can I block or hide an entire instance?
