**Fediverse** is a decentralized social network, consisting of numerous instances running different software, all compatible with each other to some degree.

Some software are more compatible with each other: Mastodon and Pleroma both implement a similar model, id est microblogging, thus they federate nicely. Some are more different, like my [[Betula]].

Currently, Fediverse is the go-to social network in these layers of the infosphere.

= Active personal accounts

* [[https://merveilles.town/@bouncepaw]] is my main presence. Follow for mostly English posts and boosts. This is also the best way to contact me publicly.
** This instance is running Hometown, which is a fork of Mastodon, optimized for //communities//. Indeed there is a sense of a community here on [[Merveilles]]!
* Two Betula instances:
** One for my bookmarks (a lot of them): [[https://links.bouncepaw.com]] `@bouncepaw@links.bouncepaw.com`
** One for announces of new posts elsewhere: [[https://feed.bouncepaw.com]] `@bouncepaw@feed.bouncepaw.com`

= Project accounts
* [[https://fosstodon.org/@betula]] for [[Betula]].
* [[https://floss.social/@mycorrhiza]] for [[Mycorrhiza]].

= Gone.
* Before Merveilles, I was on LOR: ~~[[https://lor.sh/@bouncepaw]]~~. [[Devine Lu Linvega]] invited me to Merveilles, and some time afterwards I [[Merveilles migration | migrated]]. I fit there better. A few years later, LOR went offline.
* Had an account on Pixelfed dot social to post art. Pixelfed didn't impress me, then I basically stopped drawing, and a long time after that I deleted it.
* There was a secret Friendica account with a very pompous name. Perhaps it still exists. It was actually my first attempt with Fediverse.
