Sorry for the confussion, I did not create any of those communities. I’m just trying to help them grow. I will edit the post to make it clearer.

The two I see on a quick search are empty:
- !calligraphy@lemmy.ml
- !chinesehandwriting@lemmy.ml
You can ask on !findacommunity@lemmy.ml
What I found is a few related to fountain pens:
- fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu (moved from fountainpens@sopuli.xyz)
- fountain_pens@lemmy.ml
- fountainpens@lemmy.world

I’m subscribed to specialized_instances, I think it’s a great idea for a community, although I expect it to be more relevant on the long term.
Thanks!
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
Then I will include them on my watchlist and will try to post from at least from time to time.
As I said in other comments, thanks to all of you who create and moderate communities. For now, I’m just trying to generate content, which I know it’s the easier part.
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
Note that I said: “you look a bit more organized than small subs”, and that’s not a very high bar, hehe :P.
More seriously, I thought you were related to reddit’s Imaginary Network, which is huge and with some big power-users.
If that’s not the case, then more props to you!
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring.
Agree. What I’m doing (in case it helps) is, instead of going for quantity, go for quality and try to focus the efforts on a few communities that interest me. That way I am posting about things I really like in just a few places and it doesn’t become a chore.
I’m trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it’s not that easy.
This is one of the reasosn I haven’t created a community yet, it seems too much effort-VS-results-ratio. I know I’m taking the easy path because I’m not so invested in any specific community. So thanks to all of you who create and moderate all the communities.
- Comment on fediverse services - links 1 year ago:
Some very good answers in this post: I’m aware of kbin, mastodon, and lemmy. Are there any other federated applications out there? : nostupidquestions, some random copy&paste:
Here’s a list of 130: the-federation.info/#projects
As well as Mastodon, there are lots of other server types on the Fediverse, for example:
-
BookWyrm – A social reading platform, an alternative to Amazon’s GoodReads
-
Friendica – A general social network with no character limits, sort of like Facebook used to be on its older interface
-
Funkwhale – Music and podcast storage and sharing
-
Kbin – Link aggregation and discussion, sort of like Reddit
-
Mobilizon – Event organisation, the Fedi’s alternative to Facebook Events
-
OwnCast – Video livestreaming with a chat window at the side, very much in the style of Twitch
-
PeerTube – YouTube-style video sharing site which uses P2P technology to allow even small servers to have videos go viral, as the more people view a video the more bandwidth it gets
-
PixelFed – Photo sharing site, similar in style to Instagram and Tumblr
-
WordPress – Independently hosted WordPress blogs can be turned into Fediverse servers using a special plugin
-
WriteFreely – Minimalist blog where focus is on the text, like a calmer version of Medium
…and that’s just some of them! If you’re a techy person, you can see more comprehensive lists of server types at FediDB and delightful fediverse apps.

Posted one on each community, good luck!
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
Indeed, you’re doing a great job, thanks for the efforts!
I’ve been seeing Imaginary Network’s posts on my timeline. I thought about including them in the OP, but you look a bit more organized than the usual small subs, so I chose to focus on other parts.

From Beagle Bros - Wikipedia:
Beagle Bros was an American software company that specialized in creating personal computing products. Their primary focus was on the Apple II family of computers. Although they ceased business in 1991, owner Mark Simonsen permitted the Beagle Bros name and logo to be included on the 30th anniversary reboot of I. O. Silver, released on December 12, 2014 by former Beagle programmer Randy Brandt.

I didn’t meant that I expect the same user to be posting all day. If different users send 1 post each, they sould still have a lot of time for other things :)
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
That’s our only advantage over the big sites :)
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
Posted one there, good luck!
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
Indeed, that’s one of the most promising ones… and it still only has 2 or 3 posts a day :/.
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
Good luck!
I’m personally focusing on non-meme communities, but that’s just personal preference.
- Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities 1 year ago:
Good luck!
Sadly, I don’t have much to contribute to these communities, but I will post if I find something relevant.

- Comment on Why can't we have a unified API across the fediverse to use in mobile apps? 1 year ago:
If it does, I should be able to post images on the pixelfed app that show my username as @adonis.
It cannot work as stated because there could be another @adonis accounts in other instances and the only way to prevent that would be to centralize all the signups which goes against the whole idea of decentralization. That’s why the user must be @adonis1@kbin.whatever as it is shown now.
Regarding the OAuth/JWT, again… not an expert, but what I understand is that that kind of integration is much stronger than the current system. AFAIK, it could work as you say, but that would make things much more complex for the servers; you usually provide OAuth authentication for a few services, I don’t know how well that scales. But, who knows, maybe in the future it’s implemented in one way or another.
We should take into account that this technology is fairly new and people are still building on it.
- Comment on Why can't we have a unified API across the fediverse to use in mobile apps? 1 year ago:
I’m not an expert, those who know more, please correct me.
Regarding the log-in with one account into another instance, I think that’s not how it’s intended to work. But I’m oot sure I understand what you’re asking.
Regarding the unified client API, 2 days ago Manton Reece (Creator of Micro.blog) wrote a response to Dave Winer’s open voicemail in where he says:
There is a lot of work to do, even outside of ActivityPub. As Dave mentions, we also need a common posting API. The most popular Mastodon client apps do not support either ActivityPub or Micropub. But a lot of progress can be made focusing on interoperability for the server-to-server part of the API. That should be the top priority with Threads set to join the fediverse.

I don’t know of any explicitely intentional dyslexic-unfriendly fonts, but from what I read on Adding A Dyslexia-Friendly Mode To A Website — Smashing Magazine, thin narrow fonts with ligatures should be good candidates, some examples I found from a quick search:
