    It stroke me that saying things like "First, you have to choose a comunity to join the fediverse" might be a better way to ease onboarding nwecommers than "First, you have to choose a server".

    Although the latter might be technically more accurate, the former is what people might

    • understand better;
    • ends up being what they're really doing;
    • frighten them less;
    • reinforce the "community" contribution aspect;
    • lead them to better understand the federated aspect as they realize that communities are not isolated and can talk to eachother.

    What do you think?

    "Let me know in the comments bellow..." - just kidding!

    Emphasizing moderation differences and such are things best left to discover after the user successfully lands onto the fediverse.

    At the start they shouldn't even have to think about what instance they want to land on. We're approaching it with the mindset that they "want to join Lemmy/Piefed" — that's not right!

    They should want to join a specific community, and the server just happens to be whatever they find first.

    Let's say I like Star Trek. I shouldn't have to be redirected to startrek.website. I should be able to see the community, think "cool I want to participate", and sign up, even if where I landed happens to be feddit, db0, or a random NodeBB instance.

Here are a few cool new Surf feeds to celebrate (and to keep you occupied if you're enjoying a few days off for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday).#SurfFeeds #Flipboard #SurfSocial #Apps #ActivityPub #Fediverse

    PeerTube Co-op Initiative: Week 2 Update Two weeks ago, this was just an idea. Now, it’s becoming an organization. Since launching the call for a PeerTube co-op, momentum has turned into structure. Over 35 people have expressed interest in becoming founding member-owners, and the Steering Committee has now been formalized. We’re in the orientation phase, preparing to define the co-op’s mission, vision, and bylaws before incorporation in BC. We’re also working closely with GIA Consulting Co-op, who will join our first Steering Committee meeting to help orient the group and guide early governance discussions. Beyond that, conversations are expanding. I’ve been in touch with CoSocial.ca (a Canadian Mastodon co-op) about collaboration, BT Free (a Fediverse non-profit PeerTube host) about resource-sharing, and @damon@social.wedistribute.org from We Distribute about the initiative more broadly. Next step: Steering Committee orientation, followed by our first working session on Vision & Mission. If you’d like to stay informed or get involved, DM me your email address and I’ll make sure you’re included in future updates. #PeerTubeCoop #Cooperative #PeerTube #Fediverse #DigitalCommons

    I want to #work with [you] people in the #Fediverse !Translating your articles, #proofreading your #writing, doing #research for your video essay on a 20th century philosophical school, teach you one or two #languages, doing admin for your educational non-profit, exchanging broader knowledge around politics, humanities, literature, helping sell you woodcarving art pieces...but above all I want to make #art and creative things with you.I run out of options and resources to find "normal" work IRL where I live, or escaping to study in Europe,and it is in part because I had already started being too influenced by people on here to be able to continue accepting the dire conditions offered in my immediate environment,but also, I joined here because I did not really belong in said environment already. so the thing is, I can only do the things listed remotely, online, for now.Anyone interested?#translation #job #jobsearch #fedihire
