via Amateur Radio Daily: Fediverse Meet-up at Hamvention 2026

Members of the Fediverse are invited to join fellow users at Hamvention 2026. An informal meet-up will take place Saturday, May 16th at 11:00 AM. We’ll meet in front of booth 1506 in Building 1, aka the Maxim building. Thanks to KB6NU for helping to organize!

(Booth 1506 is home to Zero Retries and DLARC. Thanks to Steve and Kay for allowing the use of their booth as a rendezvous point!)

I’ll be at the meet-up with stickers. Hope to see you there!

What is the Fediverse and how does it relate to ham radio? The Fediverse is a collection of social networking sites that communicate with one another in a decentralized way. It’s an open source alternative to centralized social networks such as Facebook and X. There are several ham radio themed Fediverse instances with thriving communities of radio amateurs:
