As someone new here, what do you think would have really helped you without changing the fundamental principles of the fediverse? Like a website with clear information, or something else?
The problem is information, there is simply too much. I decided to join social network other than reddit. From that to posting on lemmy should be a one step process. 1 signup page 1 app recommendation
Really I should of just written Lemmy.com instead of being distracted by the whole concept of fediverse and looking into it before signing up.
I really like how voyager does the onboarding, maybe we should promote going trough that.
I think we need simple, non technical content that gets people who haven’t used the fediverse stoked to find out more and try to get involved. That’s what I’m trying to do with articles like this - add momentum and tap into a big potential audience who are primed for this. But I also do want to put together a Getting Started landing page that helps people kick off.
I really do think we need to get people pumped enough to want to be educated about it all.
This article was great! Thank you so much for writing it.

I haven’t really used it since I wanted to populate my Mastodon timeline. Now it’s happening a little bit more naturally, through boosts and hashtags.
