Fediverse

Fediverse is a common name for interconnected social networks, blogs, and other websites that cooperate instead of competing.

I host my own fediverse server with Mastodon, and I made several projects and wrote multiple articles about it, including:

A tinted screenshot of the Fediverse Export Analyzer interface, showing a visualization of Mastodon user account with profile image and description in the left column, and various details, including account creation date, embedded first post, and posting frequency, and a scatter plot of all posts.
A tinted screenshot showing domains where I have followers and follow accounts blocked by one of Mastodon's instances.
A tinted screenshot of three embedded Mastodon posts.

A tinted screenshot of two charts, one showing the popularity of various fediverse platforms (with Mastodon far ahead of the rest), and the other chart showing distribution of domain creation dates, mostly clustered around 2023.
A tinted screenshot of my visualization project, with my display name, profile image, a tree chart showing each server I'm connected to, and a breakdown of my connections.
