Too much. But it’s so much fun. I like it here.

There are a lot of instances that allow signups. Go to fediverse observer, filter by registration and country, order by active users and you’ll get a decent list.

Or check one of these instances and request an account, just to name a few.

• tubefree.org
• peertube.wtf
• tilvids.com
• spectra.video

FediDB lists 67 software projects in the Fediverse. Just scroll through it and try whatever suits you.

My personal favorites:

• PieFed (Threadiverse)
• PeerTube (Videos)
• Mastodon (Microblogging)
• Bookwyrm (Books)

And lately I scrolled a bit through Wafrn, it’s a whole different vibe over there. I don’t understand much, but that’s what I love about it.

Social Media is too prevalent in most countries, but it is undeniably very useful when used correctly.

There are multiple reports about similar bugs, seems to be a PieFed bug.

That’s what !ich_iel_but_american@piefed.world does, I think.

I remember adjusting the wobbly ink tape. It was a different way of typing, way more careful to not make any mistakes. It’s nice we kept the same keyboard layout on all typing hardware that came after.

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me

No real schedule. The translation is almost at 100% anyway, but I keep finding strings that were translated automatically which aren’t very good. So it’s just random checking of strings.

Will have a look at joinfediverse.wiki later. But I can’t commit to a fixed schedule. If I see something that needs improvement, I’ll try to improve it or gather feedback here or in Zulip chat.

Or we could answer the question right here, to build our own body of knowledge:

Google says it’s releasing its brand font into the wild to avoid fragmentation and allow developers and designers to “bridge the visual gap between first-party and third-party apps”.

It notes that until now, you might see Google Sans in Gmail, then open WhatsApp and see Roboto or a device-specific font. It sees that as a “persistent, if subtle, point of friction”.

This fragmented visual language, unlike the unified font experiences on some other platforms, has prevented a seamless digital experience. “It just doesn’t feel as nice,” stresses Visual Designer Megan Lynch. “On a subconscious level it impacts the experience.”

By making Google Sans open source, it hopes to allow UI designers in particular to craft a more unified experience across devices and platforms with clear, comfortable interface designs.

I see. Good thinking!

Welcome! I’ve seen you started two nord instances already. More instances are always a good thing. But I wonder, why did you start two very similar instances?

But, yeah, the Threadiverse is not big enough to spend here hours a day

I spend 3-4 hours on the Threadiverse daily. I’d say it depends on how you use it, how you curated your subscriptions and what you’re interested in.

It’s definitely possible to spend a lot of time here. But to be fair, I’m bilingual and there’s a lot of content in German in addition to English content.

Yes it does. Instance admins can enable the sepiasearch index for the built-in search.

Good idea. I can help with German translations, some CSS and I have a joinfediverse.wiki account as well. I don’t think PieFed is relevant enough for Wikipedia or is it?
