For now it seems that most activity is at [email protected].

Go ahead, I'd rather not use Discord for community building too much. I really dislike the format. And it's just another corporate platform that'll do the same thing to its users like all the other ones did.

I'm not, no, but I was a somewhat active member with the same username :)

I'm doing quite fine actually! The only thing I really lost is access to, is the mindless scrolling, but that's actually a good thing.

There's no really coordinated effort to migrate somewhere else, so there's different 'belgium' groups on the threadiverse right now. There's also @belgium for instance. But I hope we can consolidate a bit and get something going. Would be nice!

It's the other way around: new people and instances are learning that federation also means that other servers don't want to federate with you, and that that's okay. This is different from the usual 'freeze peach' stuff, this is just communities saying 'we don't want to hear you'.

I myself am not new to the fediverse. Been using it for almost three years now. But the reddit-alternatives like kbin or lemmy are still new to me and as with all new software it takes a bit of getting used to.
