I noticed Bonfire is getting a lot of positive attention lately, and I wanted to try it out. They don’t have a directory of instances yet. Do you have any instances that you recommend.
Not really anything serious.
By poking around https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list I found two (and only two) with open sign ups that do not say “demo and testing instance":

It’s kinda amazing to me how they convinced so many people to give them money when that is all they have. I guess people want to have hope.

I read https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/what-is-bonfire-plural-by-design/ and I still don’t understand. What is Bonfire? The instances that Rimu found look just like Mastodon

I dont fully understand either, thats why I wanted to join an instance to see the difference. So far it looks like Mastadon but you can filter your feed based on “most boosted”, “most liked”, “most commented”, instead of only a chronological feed only. it also has a feature called “circles” which I think is the equivalent of a facebook group but I haven’t tried it yet.

What did you not understand? The idea is to have modular features easy to disable and enable.

What features? Do you have an example? The “content” is supposed to be like microblogging posts?
