And guess what!? micro.blog has climbed up to become the 10th largest server on the Fediverse. It's pretty interesting to see that now we have three of the top 10 Fediverse servers that aren't Mastodon.
But hey, let's take a moment to give micro.blog the attention it deserves. It's a Tumblr-like platform, part of the #Fediverse community, and it's been around since 2017. One of the great things about it is that it allows for syndication to various other platforms like Facebook, Medium, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and Flickr.
Now, here's an interesting tidbit - unlike other Fediverse services, micro.blog doesn't fall under the "free as in freedom" or "free as in beer" category. It's actually a proprietary platform that operates through subscription services. However, they do offer a 30-day free trial to give it a whirl, and after that, the base rate for a micro.blog account is $5/month.
I'm genuinely curious about what has contributed to the recent surge in user registrations on micro.blog.
