Put another way, what are some examples of software built with federation in mind from the start, rather than on top of a more centralized design?

Misskey. It’s second most used software in fediverse. Used in misskey.io, which has 10 thousands daily active user (possibly 100K-200K MAU).
Developed since 2014. Originally function as self-hosted microblogging, now turns into unique social media. For example:
Their community is mainly Japanese, they desperately need English contributor and community to help them grow.
I’d like to try it out. Do you recommend some instance with English UI?
This will also be my first microblogging platform, so any and all beginner tips are welcome.
blahaj.zone uses Sharkey (which is a fork of Misskey)
The Misskey forks are in English, the only bad thing is that they are a little resource intensive
If it was soft-fork, than its fine. Almost all previous forks are hard-forking, splitting English community into another one.
A lot of FOSS project from non-English community often having hard time to broaden their community unless English community embrace them first. Helping non-English community also broaden FOSS community diversity and perspective, allowing them to collaborate and do cultural exchange.
The UI of misskey + forks is so gorgeous. If I enjoyed using social media, I’d definitely use it.
I keep wanting to try Misskey, Sharkey, or Firefin. I like the concept but keep sticking to Mbin, Mastodon, and Threads.
