#TIL about the existence of the forkiverse, a fediverse service set up by the folks behind the Hard Fork and Search Engine podcasts;

@mapacheMaho 🦝🍻 wrote an intriguing blog post riffing off this to discuss the ways using different services for an account changes the experience of using the fediverse;

I suspect this is because each fediverse service has a community with different range of interests, and therefore sees a different slice of the verse.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/users/strypey/statuses/115947717127819758 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
