Hi everyone!
You might have seen over at the FGD projects forum that we are experimenting with a federated microblogging system at
https://social.freegamedev.netIt works with a software called HubZilla:
https://hubzilla.orgThe coolest features about it is that it can interact with GNUSocial and Mastodon instances easily. Also cool is the nomadic identity feature which allows to migrate your account between servers with a few clicks.
A nice overview of the system can be found here:

https://fediverse.party/As a start I migrated the planets to this new system, meaning that besides subscribing to them via RSS, you can also use your favorite microblogging system and even comment on and share entries.
Have a look at them here:

https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/freegamerhttps://social.freegamedev.net/channel/freegamedevFor now we are not quite ready yet to open it up for public registration (mainly due to EU data-protection requirements), but you could get an Mastodon account for example at on of these places:Edit: Feel free to register here:
https://social.freegamedev.net/register (but don't get too attached to this account as we might move to Friendica after some intensive evaluation)
Or get a Mastodon account for example here:
https://mastodon.gamedev.place/https://gamemaking.social/https://misskey.dev/And follow the above channels to interact with them through Mastodon. There are also a few open GNUSocial instances that would work. If you know a game-dev related one, please share
Or maybe even better: get an account at one of the existing public hubzilla site:
https://social.freegamedev.net/pubsites as you will be easily able to migrate your account to the freegamedev.net server later on.
So any general feed-back is appreciated and please share your (or any other relevant) fediverse account here
Thx!
P.S.: I have a few other (chat related) experiments in the cooker to be revealed soon...or not
Lets see how it goes.
