For this weeks #FollowFriday I am going to do a groups addition.

* @Electronics - An Electronics Group
* @theamazingweb - A group about interesting and novel things on the internet.
* @vim - A group for everything VIM
* @funny - A group for humour and memes
* @mnmlsm - A group devoted to discussing unix and related topics
* @calligraphy - A group devoted to sharing and discussing calligraphy & handwriting
* @FreeSoftware - A group for discussing Free and Open-source software
* @math - Everything math!
* @dogs - A group for sharing pictures of dogs, for any reason.
* @Science - A group to discuss Science topics.
* @photography - A group for sharing or discussing photograph.

So its been about a month since the QOTO Moderated Groups Server came online at groups.qoto.org. It adds group capability to the fediverse with an owner capable of moderating membership in the group unlike previous group servers which were completely unmoderated and open.

We have had some amazing groups form and overall the server seems to be the most popular on the fediverse, I'm seeing more activity than the open-group servers which is great!

As such I wanted to share a list of a few groups I know of so far in case anyone is looking for a group to follow. Just follow the group as you would a user and you will be in the group and receive group posts in your timeline!

This article is written by our friend and we translated it recently. In our perspective, it’s a bold step of Twitter to announce its plan of decentralization, though we haven’t heard any news since then. It’s a long term effort to build the portal to the new Internet on top of existing platforms, and MaskNetwork would like to facilitate this journey. hope Fediverse folks will enjoy it.

Sujitech became the owner of mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud from July this year, but lacked the technical staff with Mastodon's operation and development skills, and could not start maintenance, updates, function development, etc. This time, we are looking for the part-time staff.

It's a large-scale server, technically interesting, and has various problems. If you are familiar with your skills, please apply.

This year, I created a calendar called Fediverse Advent Calendar 2020. Currently, there are 57 articles entered using the three calendars. I expect there will be a few more in the future.

All the scheduled articles are in Japanese, but please read them in machine translation. Your entries are also welcome. Of course, you can write in English or your own language.

In Japan, there is a service called ADVENTAR that hosts the "Advent Calendar" by blog. It is also hosted by a technical blog service called Qiita.

Since the spread of Mastodon in Japan in 2017, a calendar using these services has been created for each user of Mastodon, distributed SNS, and servers every year, and many articles have been contributed.
