Welcome to Jax.Social! We're just getting off the ground, but here are a few steps you can take to get started:
* Add an avatar and bio! This makes it easier to connect with other people here.
* Make an #introduction post! Tell us a bit about yourself, so like-minded people can connect with you.
* Follow others! We're all friends here, so feel free to connect.
For now, the community doesn't have open registration. We're trying to start with a close group of people who are interested in seeing this succeed, and then slowly growing it from there.
If you join and know others who would be interested, please invite them! You can create a special signup link to send out on this page: https://jax.social/invites
@jaxsocial a longer list of #activitypub apps in various stages of development can be found in the staging area for @fediverseparty at this location:

Together, all these connected sites make up a global social network called the "fediverse."
If you're a nerd, you might want to know there's an underlying protocol called #ActivityPub that enables all of this. Besides microblogging, it also supports video sharing (via #PeerTube / https://joinpeertube.org), photo sharing (via #PixelFed / https://pixelfed.org), blogging (via #WriteFreely / https://writefreely.org), and much more.
You can learn a bit more about it here: https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse
