Every six months or so for the past several years, I've been doing a thread on Fedi about where to buy ebooks other than Amazon. It finally occurred to me that I could write it once, put it up on website, and update as needed, rather than constantly reinventing the wheel.
So, here we are. (And in spite of the title, this isn't JUST about eBooks)

(Please share your own links in replies, I'll add them to the list as I have spoons.)
One week ago I launched https://fediverse.info
Since then, 515 people registered and have been added to 1800+ topics!
Discovery is important, and while we strive to fill this void, our ultimate goal is to help standardize discovery across the fediverse.
Every #fedi project should have this directory! #activitypub #fediverse #fediverseInfo
Alcohol - beer
I would love to see a federated alternative to Untappd for fellow craft beer lovers. #CraftBeer
my spouse is cleaning out her office closet and I heard her suddenly playing a didgeridoo and then a whirly tube — but she likes calling the latter a carrugaphone now.
@pixelfed how do i use the new experience permanently? I love it but whenever I reopen pixelfed it reverts to the old theme. I'm on pixelfed.social
Thanks

#metatext just got updated with a couple of bug fixes, namely the annoying emoji misplacement on iOS 15. I'm so grateful for the developer who picked this up after a year of no updates.

Eager and anxious about going to see local production of #Spamalot this evening.
I live on a small #farm in #Vermont (US) with my wife our rescue #dog, Leo, and seven #sheep. I also like drinking and #brewing #craftbeer. I strive to be kind and considerate. 🍻
