Manyverse is cross-platform and it's the main desktop app nowadays: https://manyver.se

The Scuttlebutt.nz website hasn't been kept up-to-date. SSB's development is also decentralized, so this means that not everything moves forward in unison, so depending on who you ask, Scuttlebutt.nz is not the official frontpage.

Oh. It’s linked on Wikipedia as an official front page, and on the github also. Is there an official frontpage?

… oh I get it, it’s decentralised, there is no official front page?

Anyway yeah Manyverse seems to “work”, in the sense “is up to date, I can run it if I ignore the OS X insecure errors, and I can even join a server”.

But the one server where I could get an invite has 0 posts and 0 people apparently so, I need to keep digging I guess

It's called "invite" because people invite you, not because you can search for one on the web.

Okay.

Then I guess this really isn’t for me.

Hey, André! Good seeing you here. I love your work!

I’ve been one of your supporters (via Patreon) for several years now (I literally have your name somewhere in my monthly budget — haha), and I will continue to support you, even though it’s not a large amount of $.

I sometimes wish I could work on open-source projects I love full-time, but instead I get to live vicariously through awesome folks like yourself.

I hope all is well with you. Keep up the great work!
