Hey #forkiverse people, and everyone else who has joined us recently!

You might be just learning about the thing that makes fediverse special, that it's made up of many communities spread across many servers running different platforms.

Now, I won't bore anyone with how all that works, but here are two cool ways to visualize this.

- https://data.stefanbohacek.com/projects/fediverse lets you see which servers you are connected to (I made this one!)
- https://moderation-explorer.online helps you understand the shared responsibility of fediverse moderators

Hope you'll enjoy!
