Elena Rossini’s accounts/blogs regarding fediverse, hosting etc. are worth following anyway, now she produced this cool video. Several subtitles were already contributed.
Really good video. And it introduced me to https://jointhefediverse.net/ which I didn’t know before. Good site explaining the Fediverse and showing all the different softwares.
I didn’t know it either and it’s avoiding not enough/too much information nicely. For me the cherry on top would be a link to a kind of ‘No stupid questions’-Community for interested or new users.
Afaik, the sites’ content is managed on GitHub, so you could suggest a change there or do a pull request yourself.
After a very quick search I don’t see a community for that purpose and the whole fediverse yet. The general fedi comms and the specific !NewToPiefed@piefed.ca and !NewtoLemmy@lemmy.ca could be linked there.
Maybe I’m overlooking something outside of Piefed and Lemmy?!newtolemmy@lemmy.ca could probably be the go to as it has more content, and a nice pinned post (https://lemmy.ca/post/40668574)
We might want to create an instance agnostic community though
After watching the video (for example) and the join… an all-round comm would be a nice next step, then great communitys and resources like newtolemmy.
Piefed’s flairs could come in handy to filter different kinds of questions.
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.
@otter@lemmy.ca , what do you think?
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.
That is a great resource to have, I’m surprised I hadn’t seen it before.
Very good site indeed
Nice video
The shirt???!??
Anyway looking forward to watching this on break.
