📽️ Promotional and informative video(s) about the #Fediverse :fedi:

Hey all,
I'm trying to start a project where we create a video or a series of videos that explain the Fediverse and promote it as well as the :joinfediversewiki: #JoinFediverseWiki and especially it's instances list.

You can read all about the project here:
https://joinfediverse.wiki/Join_the_Fediverse:Promotional_video

I need people who are willing to help come up with ideas and implement them.

So please :boost: this post so these people will find me/the project.

@anellawrites Try searching for hashtags. #FediGuide #FediTips are both good ones.

#TwitterMigration folks

make sure to fill out ur bio, make an intro post

read others bios/pinned toots before following

boost posts you enjoy, liking posts is just for u, but sharing is caring

check out #FediGuide #FediTips for tips and other hashtags to see folks posting about things you might be interested in

be careful with posting too much /about/ a hashtag instead of what it is for (ie tagging mosstodon for folks who like moss, without a picture of moss is just spamming the tag)

the never-ending #FediGuide pt 3: customizing ur experience

https://digital.rooting.garden/the-never-ending-fedi-guide-pt-3-customizing-ur-experience

this talks more about the tools you have as an individual, going through the preferences area a little, but on the timelines and in your notifications as well.

@charlottecharles Ask me if you want pointers. Otherwise, #FediGuide #FediTips for starters. Get off the official app + on recced ones from "RTs"/boosts to see more options + content, to Tusky or whatever.

Copy-paste post URLs onto Search if you have trouble boosting/"RTing".

I talked some Genisys last week already or again, so "back on my bullshit" & all that "never left it" as usual.

#FediTips / #FediGuide

there *is* a way to verify yourself on Mastodon (not sure if other parts of fedi use it)

go to preferences -> profile, and scroll down. it will say “verification”

now, you put that lil code on your website or whatever, and itll show up with a green check mark and color (see my profile for an example)

i dont have a step by step for Where it needs to go for each place (your personal blog/site, versus your patreon) so if Others have resources on that, feel free to share

#FediTips / #FediGuide

blocking an instance = a suspension.

this means you cannot follow/interact with users/instances. you wont see their replies in timelines, mentions, whatever.

silencing = limiting (or a soft block)

you can follow users on a silenced instance, but they usually will not appear on timelines unless you @ one another or are following them. but they will be in mentions and whatnot.

both, from my understanding are technically defederating since its removing content

#FediTips / #FediGuide

filters are a great tool to use, especially now that with the new update it shows why a post was filtered And gives you the choice to show the post anyway

filters can be found from your preferences area~ (i recommend taking a good look in there, lots of ways to customize your experience)

you can set what timelines itll be on, a timer for how long you want to filter something for… its great

#FediGuide / #FediTips

dont use the “official” app

its bad for many reasons.

tusky for android
metatext for IOS

(tho i dont like any of the apps that are still maintained and just use the mobile browser, but there Is a new app in development i think?)

#FediGuide / FediTips

caption your media! add a basic description of the image, meme, copy text from screen shots, transcribe audio and video.

fill out your bio, make an intro post! most people wont accept follow requests from a blank profile.

use hashtags for wider reach!

#FediGuide / #FediTips

hashtags dont work in the CW subject line, but will work in the body of the post

use CW liberally to cut out clutter/long posts, ASCII, or emoji spam, avoid spoilers, make jokes, but also for triggering or overwhelming topics.

to @ someone, youll need to use their whole address: @gingerrroot- (minus the dash, just so you could see my whole @ without it shrinking down to just the username as it does when tagging correctly on most servers)

but here are some hashtags for #FollowFriday since u can follow them now

#FineFemmeFriday
#MascMonday
#Wenbiesday

#MastoTips #FediTips
#MastoHelp #FediHelp
#MastoGuide #FediGuide

#duvida - Se alguém excluir uma conta em uma instancia, o seu @username volta a ficar disponível para poder ser usado? ou se perde? :flan_book:

#mastodon #guide #mastoguide #fediguide #fediverse #br #mastodonBr #tech

asking again if we have settled on a hashtag for ppl volunteering to do person-to-person help for new fedis? would be useful to have somewhere to point people but also so other ppl who have been here awhile could mute it. I had initially guessed at #FediGuide but idk.

Who are my #NewToFedi #TwitterMigration ppl? I am happy to help answer questions of any kind, boost yr intro toots, or help out how I can! Do we have a hashtag ppl can search for as a distributed buddy system? is #FediGuide active?

FYI, @askfedi users,
