@Casey you folks need to prepare for the @fediforum 2026! I would be cool that you share your experience

https://fediforum.org/

@Casey I was going to make some joke about you hosting most of the Fediverse. But really, congratulations, it’s a cool experiment 🧫👋

[mapache@hachyderm.io]

@jonassmith @Casey is now the 12th most used server! So, it actually is half a joke.

[miiko@social.darxxide.eu]

@Casey Oh wow! That’s a lot of people. Congrats on the successful path!

[pabloniusmonk@mastodon.social]

@Casey Holy 🐮 ! I though theforkiverse was going to be capped at 2,000! That is some impressive growth. Congrats!

[jonassmith@theforkiverse.com]

@mapache @Casey it was half a joke to begin with so now it’s some other fraction. But that is actually a bit wild ⚡️

[jojadev@theforkiverse.com]

@Casey myself and many are defo willing to chip in some hosting fee coverage should such an option become available

[forkingarab@theforkiverse.com]

@Casey what do they win?

@Casey @kevin @pj looks like you're going to have to upgrade your Masto.host server plan, that's a good problem to have!

[jona@wien.rocks]

@Casey very cool 🥳 The Forkiverse experiment got me to reactivate my mastodon account, let’s see how this goes!

[gmoore@thepit.social]

@Casey @pj I was going to move my account over there but I didn't want to increases costs like you mentioned on the Podcast. It is like the birth of blogging where uploading one video would burn through your webhost bandwidth for a month.

[ales@theforkiverse.com]

@Casey this is the way!

[prossm@theforkiverse.com]

@Casey Y'all are cultivating such a great community here!

[matthewkosinski@theforkiverse.com]

@Casey I’m excited but also anxious about your hosting costs

[fediforum@mastodon.social]

@Casey We'd love to have youa, maybe as a keynote? Will follow-up separately.
