@Flipboard and Surf.Social are excited to host the first-ever Fediverse House, March 9 & 10, 2025.

Join us while the SXSW conference is going on to learn about the world of decentralized social and why it promises a better way for consumers, creators, brands, and even democracy itself.

Our programming lineup is stacked (and still evolving), but it’s looking like the place to be for anyone interested in the future of the internet.

Will you be in or near Austin, TX, on March 9 and 10? We're gathering people passionate about decentralized social media for two days of panels, networking, learning, and fun during the first-ever Fediverse House.

We’ll be sharing official details soon, but for now we wanted to do a special roll call 📯 for creators, publishers, podcasters, community builders, and developers.

Let us know if you’ll be there as we are currently finessing our programming lineup and looking for expert voices to showcase and partner with. Thank you! 🤙

Man, yesterday was a doozy. We can’t agree with every platform’s decisions, but we can vote with our feet.

Surf wants to free our social connections from being locked up in separate self-serving networks. It’s a no-nonsense browser for the open social web that lets you easily create and surf custom feeds that organize people, videos, articles and podcasts around the things you care about.

Join the waitlist today: https://waitlist.surf.social/
