Real humans, really engaged
The people you reach chose to be on these nodes. They read, they reply, they follow.
For advertisers
Reach the people who left the corporate web.
FediMedia puts your message in front of engaged communities on the open social web — and charges you for one thing only: a real, verified follow. No impressions that never happened. No "reach" you can't see. No surveillance.
Why advertisers choose FediMedia
A better deal, built on respect — for your audience and for your budget.
You pay per verified follow
Not per impression, not per "click". A follow is a durable relationship — the metric that matters.
Contextual, never creepy
Target by region, language and community topic. We never build profiles of individuals.
No tracking, no bot farms
Follows are verified over ActivityPub. Fraud controls, escrow and per-node caps keep numbers honest.
Affordable and practical
Starting at R4 per verified follow, with transparent budgets you set and can see in full.
You fund the open web
Your spend keeps independent nodes alive, instead of topping up another trillion-dollar feed.
The audience
An exodus worth reaching
Millions of people are leaving the sewers of corporate social media for communities they can trust. They're builders, makers, organisers, artists and small businesses — deliberate, loyal, and famously allergic to being advertised at like a target.
FediMedia gives you a fair, honest way to reach them, on their terms — which is exactly why it works.
Privacy-first by default
They expect to be respected. We make sure you are.
High-intent communities
Topic-based nodes mean context, not guesswork.
Durable follows
A follow keeps paying attention long after the campaign ends.
Goodwill by association
Your spend visibly supports the node, not a middleman.

- Language
- Community topic (e.g. opensource, privacy)

Advertiser questions
What exactly am I paying for?
Only for verified follows — a real person choosing to follow the account you're promoting. Impressions aren't billed.
Can I choose where my ad appears?
Yes. You choose the context (region, language, topics, node type) and every ad is human-reviewed before it runs.
How do you prevent fake follows?
Follows are confirmed through the ActivityPub protocol, deduplicated per person and per target, held in escrow, and subject to per-node caps and fraud review.
What content is allowed?
Honest, lawful advertising. We prohibit hate, harassment, illegal goods, adult content and anything that would harm a community. See the terms.
How do I pay?
Fund a campaign by card or EFT via Paystack, or with Pi Network from the Pi Browser.
When will Display and Video launch?
They're in development, including video across OurTube.Africa. Register now and we'll let you know the moment they open.
