Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁

Brainstorming a 'No stupid questions re Fediverse' community (piefed.social)

Inspired by a new introducing video and its reference to https://jointhefediverse.net/ , see link and discussion here: https://piefed.social/post/889659

Jointhefediverse is a great resource for interested people/new users, and for those a link to a community dedicated to questions re the whole fediverse and interaction with regulars could be a nice addition.

I'm only aware of 'Fediverse' communities not specifically for that group, or communities tailored to new users of Piefed (https://piefed.ca/c/newtopiefed) or Lemmy (https://lemmy.ca/c/newtolemmy ). Am I missing something?

The community itself could be set up rather quickly, but maybe we talk about things like name and other basics before?

IMO !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca and !newtopiefed@piefed.ca are more helpful than a generic fediverse focused community. By the time you know what the fediverse is (I used Mastodon before joining Lemmy and now Piefed), you don't need to deal with the noob questions.

On the other hand, it's easier to point new joiners to a single community rather than having to check what platform they are using every time

[–] Rekall_Incorporated@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

While that's true, I think it's best to keep everything as simple as possible for new users.

You joined Lemmy, you have a newtolemmy community where (hopefully) all your questions are answered. Same with Piefed.

[–] Blaze@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

When Voyager will start to support both, new joiners won't even know if they're on Lemmy or Piefed

The pinned !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca (https://lemmy.ca/post/40668574) is generic enough to work for both. It can probably be reworked a bit so that it is the default page new joiners read, whatever platform they use

And if you didn't join anything yet and feel like sorting sth out after some hearsay and the 'static' info on joinfediverse?

Right now one of the fediverse@... could be linked, but that may flood them with these questions and bury fediverse news etc interesting to regulars.
