Hey folks! We’re a small community working on a new Fediverse-based platform with privacy-friendly services, aimed at making onboarding easier—especially for Indian users.

We're still in early stages and would love your input on what you'd actually like to see.

If you're interested, you can fill out this short survey to help guide our direction: https://app.formbricks.com/s/cmavbkwso0c89wb01dp4j0z3f

Feel free to ask any questions—happy to chat!

Why do you want to host it at all? I mean there are already a ton of fediverse servers out there you can tell Indian people to use one of those. also hosting is expensive unless you have a very good reason to do so

We aren't hosting it all, as of right now. We'll be picking a few services and scale as required. As for why we're doing it at all is because we have seen for there to be a very few such initiatives in our region and aim to promote the conversation about foss and privacy through our efforts in providing alternative services.

The whole point of fediverse is to decentralise and federate it, so it doesn't make sense to just keep using existing servers!

We plan to use personal hardware and aim to minimise costs wherever possible!

a server run by indians also allows for better moderation of indian content
