Thanks for promoting us! To clarify, this is absolutely a group effort, 
with Taavi, Lucas Werkmeister, and Nemo_bis being some of the main 
people involved.


Our goal is to build the community organically, so we can take the time 
to properly scale up moderation resources, write documentation, etc. You 
can browse through our pretty vibrant local timeline, 
, with people discussing public domain 
day, redactle scores, unattributed use of photos, software patches, and 
more!


More details and information on how to get an account at 
.



But yes - recommended best practice for organisations is to run their
own instance. Putting an instance up on a domain you own is also a
clear stamp of authenticity.


I would say that for most chapters/user groups, running their own 
instance is a lot of work and overkill; having an account on a regional 
or thematic server would be better. For larger organizations (like the 
WMF), it's definitely doable and really should be done.


So on that note, a big shout out to Wikimedia Deutschland for setting up 
! It's really great to see.



Twitter has stayed up so far, but bits are visibly falling off. The
assorted official Wikimedia accounts should be posting in the main
federation too, from an official presence.


My understanding is that the WMF has some confidential position on this 
that it is explicitly choosing not to share with community members.[1]

This is really lovely! I hope that we will be able to host all this
material on Commons, it would be a great showcase.
