Who are the finest #community builders in the #activitypub ecosystem, in your opinion?

Little known fact: @evan and I worked at a startup in 2020 that never launched. It wasn't a great experience for me, but I loved the team we had hired, including Evan. I didn't know much then about #activitypub or the social web.

I went back to @Flipboard in 2021 and in 2023 I started to learn about #federation because of @mike's vision. Fast forward to 2025, Flipboard + @surf are organizing #SXSW's first #FediverseHouse. Evan was one of the first people to sign on, which created a snowball from there, which helped the event be a success.

This week, we got to meet IRL for the first time! So when I think about "the purpose" of that hard 10 months at that startup, I now know what it was.

Be still my beating heart! New @pluralistic stan over here. 🙋🏼♀️ The man is seriously brilliant and I could listen to him all day. Can't wait to get the recording of his talk out into the world. #FediverseHouse #fediversehouse2025 #sxsw #sxsw2025

@n8foo @evan @molly0xfff yes, we are recording the talks (a few sound issues notwithstanding 😅) and will upload to @flipboard in a few weeks 🤞

I've got invite codes for @surf for members of Mastodon's #collage or #art community. Lmk if you want one!

I loved my first/last #xoxofest! I met so many great people and it was awesome to be in an environment where I didn't have to spend all my time explaining what #fediverse is and why you should try it. This community is already light years ahead, and it was a thrill to be able to focus instead on how people are creating and connecting on decentralized systems. Gave me so much hope for the future of the web. **Thank you,** XOXO-ers!

Is there a Pitchfork for fediverse music? As I try to familiarize myself with this landscape, I'm wishing there was a guide to help me find the gems. 🤔

@evan @jon Should I reach out to our friends there? Float the idea? I'm sure they're all too busy, but camp.social is a very cool idea -- I bet some early adopters would bite!

@jon @ricmac @Flipboard 🤩 worlds crashing and colliding into one gorgeous nebula (lol stick with me on that analogy).

Jon was my first manager at Burning Man (when will they join the fediverse?!)

Question: which publishers are doing the best job at incorporating #fediverse networks as part of their content strategy and engaging with the community? I want to write a "Fedi Curious" post about best practices for #media orgs. Thank you in advance!

Wow, my colleague just federated my @Flipboard profile. Now you can follow what I'm curating into #magazines the #fediverse. How cool is that! 🤩

@mia

Really excited where all this is going!

@cubicgarden @evan Oh my! So fun to see you two together <3

Looking for someone who's passionate about #believeinfilm to guest curate @Flipboard's photography newsletter next month. (It's a great opportunity to promote your own work too.) Lmk if this is you! Thank you 🙏🏻

I'm always so curious about the ingredients of a great #playlist. Music curator extraordinaire Kasey Gelsomino, the creator of "Oat Milk Lattes in the Mountains" on #spotify and Kasey's Playlist on #tiktok, shared her secrets with me in today's podcast conversation for @Flipboard:

@evan check it out!! https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/mastodon-on-android-flipboard-integration-is-here/

Hive mind: What are the essential hashtags or accounts to follow on Mastodon if you're into #photography? ?

@evan Evan! I've been reading up on Fediverse and saw you are co-author of ActivityPub! OMG, respect!

Is this thing on? ;)
