Fediversity explained
Individuals
The fediverse shows great potential in fundamentally rethinking how we approach the internet. It is a new way of thinking about how the internet can be a social web, and solves for the problems that the current Big Tech platforms have, while at the same time enabling a new wave of innovation and new ideas on the social web.
Developers
The Fediversity Project enables easy hosting for a wide variety of fediverse platforms, all based on NixOS. At the start, the project will support Mastodon, PixelFed,PeerTube, Matrix and Nexcloud, and the project is actively working to expand this offering.
EU Commission
The Fediversity project implements the visions outlined by the Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative for an open internet in several ways. Most importantly, it helps with decentralisation of the internet, a core principle of the NGI, by making it easier for people to participate in the Open Social Web on their own terms.
Fediversity grants
Fediversity invites other people to join this ambitious development effort. It is a vast domain with many more challenges than what any preconceived effort could tackle by itself.
This is why we invite your contribution to help us reshape the state of play, and together create an open, trustworthy and reliable internet for all.
