Welcome everyone!

First of all, what is a ‘Yarning Circle’? Well it’s a place to have a yarn, a conversation, where everyone can speak as equals.

🧑‍💻 What’s Up? 🧑‍💻

We had our big vote and the result was a 1-vote tie breaker towards not joining the Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla.

In saying that, as it was so close we are going to become ‘Companions’ of the FAF, which is a much looser affiliation based on shared values. We will be copying many of their existing rules, but are open to modification if our members wish to see changes. We are invited to participate in FAF votes for some rules outside of things like defederations/bans - which we will not be copying on our end, meaning we won’t be opening up to HexBear and such.

We will also be able to use the FAF Matrix Channel, where I will be setting up a room just for Quokk.au members. This should be handy to reach myself if the site is down, or just for a general chitchat in real time.

Basically this is all the good aspects of the FAF without any of the concerns expressed by users.

We are also exploring alternative front-ends to access Quokk.au, if you could please take a look at:

  • blorp.piefed.zip
  • photon.piefed.zip

And let us (me) know which you would like to see (or suggest some others if you know of them)

We’re continuing to grow, and it’s great to see so many active users contributing to make this instance a lively place to be. So thank you all for your posts and comments.

If I could make a request, I would love to see more communities being created - if there’s anything you’re passionate about please don’t hesitate to make it so. The more content and places for community to grow, the more we can help the Fediverse become a replacement for the corporate web.
