Elena Rossini's accounts/blogs regarding fediverse, hosting etc. are worth following anyway, now she produced this cool video. Several subtitles were already contributed.

I would even make it simpler: combine both "newto" communities to a single one. A single place where all new joiners can ask their questions, and where we have two pinned posts, one for each platform.

@[email protected] , what do you think?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I think that could work, I can lock the NewToPiefed and redirect it to NewToLemmy and rename the later

Alternatively I can keep both open and pin a thread in NewToPiefed saying that they can also post in the larger and more active NewToLemmy, and edit the sidebar of each to say that its ok. That might keep the friction to a minimum so that people are more likely to post wherever they end up.

I guess the questions is how much we thing people will get confused if they are redirected to "NewToLemmy" if they only hear from Piefed and never from Lemmy.

Also unfortunately the community name ( [email protected] ) can't be changed.

Anyway, it's not that urgent now, but I feel like maybe having a new "[email protected]" community without any platform mention could be the best (and could also be used for Mbin)

I understand that would be for those three platforms only and not the whole fediverse. For the latter I opened a discussion here https://piefed.social/post/891425

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

That could be for the whole Fediverse. I don't see why someone with questions about Pixelfed or Mastodon couldn't come to that community to ask them

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Ah ok, I misunderstood as exclusively because of the two pinned posts you mentioned.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Yes, actually rereading the current pinned post (https://piefed.social/post/539670), we could probably go with a single post with a few sections

  • general introduction to the fediverse
  • Links to Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. documentation
  • Overview of Lemmy specific features
  • Overview of Piefed specific features
  • Overview of Mbin specific features

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜
