Today I discovered the Fediverse Software Database, and it’s a bit disheartening to see how many platforms have so few users. What are some ways we could help promote these smaller or newer Fediverse projects and give them more visibility?

Piefed seems interesting! Might register an account there :) Hurrah for the wonders of open source! I'm a bit worried about Ernest though. Didn't he have a bunch of health issues?

He did, as well as mental health. So perhaps it is good that he pulled back a bit rather than overwhelm himself further. He did come back from his hospital trip, but then left the instance completely unmonitored which caused the entire Threadiverse to become flooded with spam messages like advertisements, to the point where some instances chose to defederate from it. You can't just leave something like open on the internet these days!

Anyway PieFed is fantastic, you will probably fall in love with it instantly, like so many others of us:-).
