Special thank you to their admin Guinan for allowing us to set up. TenForward.social has been operational since 2017, so they should prove a reliable home.

      True, but following the instance directly can be a bit of a firehose of information since you get ALL posts and comments. We wanted to have a place to alert for scheduled maintenance, events, and stuff like that.

        @Admin @BalooUriza

        Yea, following the site in Mastodon is suboptimal. I’m kind of waiting to see how all this stuff shakes out. I don’t like creating accounts everywhere, so I’m looking at kbin, lemmy, or just staying on mastodon. Depends on where the software goes.

          Maybe I’ll be proven wrong in time, but I think the core functionalities of Lemmy and Mastodon are different enough that (a) I find it hard to imagine an interoperability solution that’s fully satisfactory, and (b) having an account for each makes sense to me, just as it made sense to have accounts on both Twitter and Reddit before they collapsed into their respective pits of despair.
