    This is great! Thanks for creating this page.

    I noticed on the Fediverse page that other projects like pleroma, honk, and zap don’t even have articles. That’s pretty disappointing since pleroma has been around nearly as long as mastodon and the other two have been around a while too (though not nearly as long). I tried writing a pleroma article years ago, but there weren’t enough references and frustratingly, I don’t think much has changed since then.

      Pleroma def doesn’t seem to have much publicity. I’d recommend adding these to the wikipedia requested articles page with what sources you do find so others can build on it later :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences/Computer_science,_computing,_and_Internet#Software

      I’m glad there’s at least one article that talks about Pleroma https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.12709.pdf

      The other thing to do if you really wanna promote the project is message places like The Register, Android Police, Arstechnica when there are new announcements. Or just ping some journalists you follow. They’re always looking for the next tip :)

      Seems like you probably already know this but posting for the benefit of others!

        Thanks. I added Pleroma to that page with a bunch of reference I found.

        Good tip about the journalists. Now that they’re all on the fediverse, maybe it’ll be easier to get them to understand the fediverse is more than just mastodon.
