LocalPub Alpha
bengo started a plan while Local.Pub was in Alpha, before it had a server of its own.
- Signed by local.pub, so anyone can check it.
- Given to bengo’s own ID, not just this page.
- bengo keeps it whatever their plan is now.
Local.Pub is still in Alpha. Start a plan before it has a server of its own, and you’re an Alpha too. Join the Alpha
Follow bengo from Mastodon
Mastodon doesn’t look up a handle that’s only a domain, like @bengo.pub, yet. Search for this there instead:
@bengo@bengo.pubA handle that’s a domain is newer than Mastodon’s search, which only looks for name@domain. Other apps on the social web may find @bengo.pub as it is.
