Wow, almost 20k new accounts on mastodon.social alone over the last week according to @usercount
This now feels a lot like the big wave of new people in April 2017.
Here’s hoping that we all (again) will manage to keep up the positive & supportive vibe of this platform!
@mattcropp It seems a very large wave last 2d..

Hello all at social.coop, I'd like to ask if it would be possible to extend social.coop to other languages.
After living in the Oxford area for 3yrs, unfortunately I had to return to the Netherlands and now trying (to make the best of it and) to set up a Dutch language instance, e.g. nl.social.coop. I'm not sure how to do this, but maybe something with a proxy or DNS?
For the dutch speaking there is a interesting docu about the coop trend: http://www.uitzendinggemist.net/aflevering/430188/Vpro_Tegenlicht.html
