Bonfire is one of the fediverse projects I'm most excited about right now. I hope they don't get too bogged down in organizational work right now. They're awfully close to version 1.0

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Sounds pretty awesome.
Please forgive if this sounds ignorant, but is this a tool to install on servers to create your own version of a federated app, like Lemmy / Mastodon / Pixelfed?
Or is this completely new, other social network, like a standalone social network of itself, like a Lemmy / a Mastodon / a Peertube?
Still trying to grasp the fediverse concepts.
AFAIK Bonfire is similar to Mastodon and compatible with it, just more modular.
Actually created an account on there a few days ago, so will try that, but wasn't able to find a beehaw post when testing earlier...
Thanks for explaining! Trying it now on their test instance and it is super slow. Looks great, but can’t see text when typing, won’t post. :-(
Probably very early days. (On iOS using safari)
A really interesting platform!
TheFediverse needs women. The decision to allow weird porn to be all through the all section will result in a user base skewed heavily male.
