jointhefediverse.net
JoinTheFediverse.net is a volunteer-run educational website that introduces newcomers to the fediverse, the decentralized network of interconnected platforms for social networking, content sharing, and online communities. The site helps visitors understand what the fediverse is, learn about various federated platforms such as Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and others, and find a community that matches their interests. Key features include an overview of the fediverse concept, a directory of platforms categorized by use case, explanations of key concepts like federation and ActivityPub, and resources for new users getting started. The site is open source and translated into dozens of languages through community contributions. The project welcomes volunteers to contribute in several ways: suggesting new fediverse platforms or features by opening GitHub issues, adding translations through a straightforward workflow involving JSON localization files, and reporting issues. Translators can check existing language cover
