You need to connect with others. I think Manyverse is best used with SSB rooms where you can find others (to connect/follow), see https://github.com/staltz/ssb-room/blob/master/FAQ.md

Alternative is a Pub, but joining a Pub is not so great with Manyverse as it will download a lot of content to your mobile phone.

I tried it out (see https://twitter.com/try_except_/status/1333499056769937408) and got great support in the Matrix/Riot chat (https://matrix.radicle.community). Definitely looking forward to distributed git changing the developer landscape :-)

It's a German registered association (e.V.), i.e. it's not only a single company or person behind it. Funding is done by membership fees. As a member you also get insights (regular newsletter) into the financial situation, e.g. how much money is on the bank account.

True, but at least they now have an API for account creation (AWS Organizations) --- it was really painful in 2015/16 to script (in the browser!) all necessary steps for account creation (add credit card, remove it again [to switch to invoice], etc)

"He" is "me" in this case, thanks for the link (and contribute some postmortems!) :-)
