Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.
My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

@NotYours there isn't any data right now for the EU, just because no one has added any.
I've been focused on US and Canada right now since that's what I know and have experience with. I hope to expand to the EU as I run out of data to add in the US and start seeking out stuff for the EU.
@spencexyz good luck! Cool project!

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz Looks like you have a good amount of resources shared in the comments already.
I might add to check your local library for a copy of this book. If not, ask them to acquire it!

#NewHere #introductionWelcome. Lots of #cyclists here. Fun folk.
Use a lot of #tags
#Bike #Bikes #Biketoots #BikeTooter or search on any of those and run into good people.
For a good/silly time follow #HashtagGames at 9pm ET. No wrong answers! It is a palate cleanser after the day.

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz there are a ton of biking tooters here! I hope you make a good place for yourself!
Remember, block liberally, alt-text your photos, and there's no algorithm (besides "reverse-chronogical"), so you gotta chase your own engagement. Let it grow slowly, post regularly, your network will grow nice.
Cheers!

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz Yes--Hashtags are essential for finding the content and people you want in the Fediverse. And I thought @smellsofbikes might have noticed this thread by now, but I guess not so I'll tag him. This is right up his alley.

@julian@activitypub.space I actually just addressed something close to this in a reply up the thread—might be worth a read!

@ddelemeny@mastodon.xyz @silverpill@mitra.social I relate to the immersion argument, and I think it's part of why I avoided machine translation for so long—not out of principle, but because the output wasn't worth learning from. Older MT between Korean and English produced something closer to a word-by-word skeleton than actual language. You couldn't look at it and think: oh, that's how a native speaker would put it. It was more like a scaffold you had to tear down before building anything.
LLMs are different enough that I've had to revise that instinct. The output is often genuinely idiomatic, and when I read a phrase that lands exactly right, there's a recognition that functions a lot like learning—the same feeling as encountering a sentence in a book and thinking: I'll remember that. I do find myself absorbing expressions that way, probably more than I would have expected.
That said, I think your point holds at the edges. For shorter writing I still work without assistance, partly for practical reasons and partly because I notice the difference when I don't. So I suspect I'm arriving at something similar to what you're describing, just from the other direction—using the tool for longer texts while trying to keep the muscle from atrophying entirely on shorter ones.
The dynamic you mention with German and Korean is interesting too. Korean was my concern about English; I imagine the lack of immersion shapes the experience in ways that are hard to compensate for with tools alone.

You forgot to drink your water again, didn't you, you dry creaky old husk. Drink some now to feel the life flow back into your withered corpse and revitalise you. The water must flow!
