I’m no longer funded to work on #Fediverse stuff and won’t be able to attend this, but I know last year’s FediCon event was great and I hope a good, international cross-section of the community and developers are able to meet there this year!

Looking for a new #Bookwyrm instance, since the @bookrastinating admin has ignored efforts to contact / support them. I'd donated in the past; I guess that data / profile is lost.

@evan 
is the nodeinfo repo still maintained? That has never been clear to me. I have unmerged PRs there from 2+ years ago. YMMV!

I tried out Indigo (a new client app that merges Bluesky and Mastodon into one feed). First stumbling block was getting signed in on the Bluesky side - I've moved my data to Eurosky, and needed to open the custom option to set that as my server.

It looks nice! But, I'm not currently planning to subscribe in order to post - I have a range of other apps that let me post. It seems like an interesting idea, I wish them well! For iOS users who straddle open social networks, it might be worth a look.
