For those that might be new to the #Fediverse and to #Mastodon in general, I've written a few tips and tricks to help you get started.

While this isn't a complete list, I feel it's a great place to get started and what can help you find good content and to help others find you and what you are interested in.

Tips And Tricks For New Mastodon Users
What Is Mastodon? Mastodon was founded in 2016 by German software developer Eugen Rochko. Unlike Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or most any other social media site, Mastodon is a nonprofit, meaning that it's not owned or run by one individual or …AllThingsTech
Working and thinking on "native" #openweb aproches to governance
I wonder how much people recognize that from a #openweb “native” prospective we are failing in just about every way in the #Fediverse apart from more people, and more tech mess.SocialHub

This is an excellent report by @legoktm on @wikipedia ’s experience on the Fediverse.
Experiences and goals will vary for each organization of course, but there are a lot of interesting things in there that could be helpful to you too!✨

something you are not addressing, why do we need encryption at all in the #Fediverse it's all currently #4opens and is very successful because of this - why do we need encrypted DM's that a current chat app cannot do?

#Instagram is now allowing people to comment with GIFs.
The Verge doesn't like this and bemoans the death of thoughtful analysis. I'm sorry... what?
When did Instagram ever have thoughtful analysis in the comment section? Most of the comments I ever got on Instagram were 🔥emoji, and "Looking good!"
Meanwhile, here on the #Fediverse, we've had GIF comments for ages, and the reputation we have is that we're all overly-serious folks!
Hey, #Calckey even allows you to make MFM animations!
I don't think GIFs have anything to do with how "thoughtful" and "analytical' a social media comment might be.

Well well well if it isn't cryptocurrency spam coming from the biggest, open instance on the #Fediverse. 👀
I wonder if this is at all related to challenges with moderating an instance of *checks notes* 200k active accounts? Or with moderating new accounts on the only instance actively promoted in the official apps? 
Thankfully we can always defederate! What's that? It's the biggest instance so there are real concerns about a lot of people losing connections? Whodda thunk it!

But who do you want to hear from next? (If they're on the #Fediverse, tag them for me).
@Igor Warneck @👤 𝟳𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 ✅🖖🇨🇮🔒 Genau weil mastodon so murksig ist, verwenden wir es nicht.
Dieses #fediverse wird sich nicht an dich anpassen ... das musst du schon auch selbst gebacken kriegen. ;)
#fediverse we are going to have waves of #mainstreaming people coming into "our" #openweb counter currents, bringing a lot of non-native, unthinking blinded mess with them, they will push this mess over us as common sense then they will retreat back to #mainstreming and point at us covered in mess... "look these guys are covered in mess we can't work with them...
Yes this is bad behaver, ideas please?
I understand preventing harassment and dealing with content that's illegal, but the #fediverse is part of the #openweb. should we also be policing the truth of what people put up on their own websites? Instances must have their own standards but a social web where it's hard to post unpopular perspectives and have the potential to reach a wide audience (via strict content policing and fediblocks) will be very bad for democracy.
The only two design choices available aren’t “funnel everyone to mastodon.social” or “present a list of thousands of servers.” The default button could automatically round-robin a large list of servers that are known to be run by good actors. This is a solved problem. The solution is not being used, in this case, because, clearly, mastodon.social does want to grow.

We need responsible people to STOP pushing only #Mastodon as this is not helping, just look at the SPAM currently spewing from this process. With this mess we are building a codebase and an instance that are "too big to fail" this is absurdly stupid and not needed.
Please link and talk about the #openweb or the #fediverse to start to compost the mess you are making, thanks.

With pandemic-related things calming down a bit, and especially with the surge in fediverse use over the last 6 months, it seems like a good time to regroup. Would anyone be interested in attending an online fediverse conference, or helping to organise one?

The excellent @dansup (creator of @pixelfed) also maintains two very useful Fediverse tools:
➡️ https://fedidb.org - A dashboard for the Fediverse, with details of how server types and specific servers are growing.
➡️ https://fediverse.info/explore/people - An opt-in directory of people on the Fediverse sorted by keyword. You can add yourself to the directory by including special hashtags in your profile.
If you've used them before, take another look as they've both just been revamped.
it's not, but people keep pushing it in... #diaspora is from the #encryptionists agenda where the #Fediverse is #4opens
Mess and composting comes to mind.
So, what really *is* the fediverse? Is Diaspora part of it?

There's a lot of great explanation sites about the fediverse and its various communities, and I wanted to take a stab at this myself.
The site (very much work in progress) is aimed at a more casual audience. Let me know what you think!

While I'm not inherently against competing protocols, it's really hard to see BlueSky as anything other than an attempt to (a) keep the fediverse from succeeding, and (b) taking over a "growing market".

The tech might be different, but the world view is #nothingnew in a bad way.
The #Fediverse is built on a different world-view which is why it is important, the tech in both cases is secondary.
