We created a new list of fediverse platforms. It is amazing how many platforms are being developed on the ActivityPub network.

First of all, you can remove Zap. It was discontinued as per December 31st, 2022, and fully superseded by (streams). Zap instance owners were asked to rebase their instances to (streams).

Also, please put (streams) into parentheses. "Streams" is not its official name. (streams) is officially and intentionally nameless and brandless. The "name" is that of the code repository, and it was the Hubzilla community which colloquially introduced "(streams)", including parentheses, as a handle to call the nameless software by.

It's worth mentioning that Forte is not officially released as stable yet. It is still very experimental, and it does not have any public instances yet. It is not fit for daily driving.

In fact, I'd re-order the "Friendica and family" part not alphabetically (which puts the most experimental and volatile one at the top), but chronologically: Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte.

Another addition to that section could be Socialhome.

(streams) and Forte also offer discussion groups and data storage. (streams) actually has groups one can join now.

Firefish can be removed, too. The development has ceased at the turn of the year, and next month, all Firefish-related official servers will be shut down.

/kbin can be removed. Its development has ceased even earlier, and it's down to no more than two instances while many others have migrated to Mbin.

Lotide was practically stillborn, but its development has officially been stopped last year. It can be removed.

But if you add software as experimental as Forte, you may also add Sublinks to Link Aggregators.

@Jupiter Rowland Thank you for the valuable information. All of the changes you mentioned have been made, with the exception of SocialHome. Since its interface looks like a Pinboard, it's placed in the Pinboard section instead.

Our first post on Social Web Observer. You have to start somewhere. :)

We added some links to various fediverse statistics websites and a communities list. Over time, we will update this website with more information about the fediverse.

Thank you for joining us!
