+this is the first monthly1 post about the status of everypizza.im.
+
+# services
+
+in the first month of operation, this one set up a few (semi-)public services:
+- Matrix (Synapse)
+- Sharkey
+- Friendica
+- Forgejo
+- Synapse-Admin
+- Element
+- ZITADEL
+- PeerTube
+
+out of those, Forgejo and ZITADEL are currently the only public services. hopefully, the Matrix will be going public soon with Matrix-Authentication-Service bound to the ZITADEL (in order to prevent spam.)
+
+there were also a few private things set up:
+- Immich
+- The Lounge
+- Grafana
+- Penpot
+- Prosody (although 2 friends have an account on there)
+
+### bridges
+
+the server has a few bridges (planning to add more next month!):
+- Mautrix Discord (Matrix<->Discord)
+- Parsee (Matrix<->XMPP)
+
+1it won't really be monthly, just whenever it feels like a month has passed. sorry to disappoint.
