Fediverse · free social networks
Follow the blog from Mastodon
Mastodon is a social network like X or Threads, but nobody owns it: it is made of thousands of servers that talk to each other. BogDev has its account there.Mastodon is a social network like X or Threads, but nobody owns it: it is made of thousands of independent servers that talk to each other. BogDev has its own account there, and you can follow it to get every new article.
How it works
It works like email
With an email from one provider you can write to someone who uses another. It is the same here: from an account on any server you follow accounts on other servers.
Your address has two parts
The name comes first, then the server where the account lives. The blog's is @bogdev on the server api.bogdev.com.co.
Many apps, one network
Mastodon is the best known, but Pixelfed, PeerTube, Misskey and GoToSocial talk to each other too. That shared network is called the fediverse.
