"No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes." — Henry Miller — — — #HenryMiller #quote #quotes #classics #newcomers #newbies #establishment #past #future

[ I want to do this too!!
Shall I repeat the instructions? Okay:
To help some of the #newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

Where would you create a new support #chat for your #opensource project?
- #IRC
- #Discord
- #Matrix
- …

In the past it was IRC for sure but now it’s difficult to offer the best and easiest way for #newcomers. Too many possibilities - and this is not always good.

A huge welcome to the #Newcomers - we hope you like it here! Follow (and unfollow) liberally, and you can use and follow #hashtags of things you're interested in - this helps people find and engage with others with similar interests. Use favourite to acknowledge you liked a post, use boost if you want to share the post with your followers, and use bookmark to keep an eye on a thread. Replying to yourself or others creates a thread. Holler if you need any help! #Newbie #HowTo

Een suggestie: als je wil dat mensen zich welkom voelen in de Fediverse, ga dan niet direct aan nieuwkomers uitleggen hoe het allemaal werkt TENZIJ je expliciet gevraagd wordt dat te doen.

"Maar....."

Maar niks. We overleven wel met wat kleine technische misvattingen.

We overleven niet als we nieuwkomers bombarderen met Fedisplaining.

#Fredericton & #SaintJohn respectfully, round out the list among the province’s 3 major cities as popular landing spots.

To any #newcomers suspecting that they might forget the site exists in the next few days, I say this as someone who bounced off a few different networks but has recently joined here myself and found it sticking: read the #Local tab. You don't have to have a big follow list, there's a community of people chatting right there for you to browse. Might not be what you need, but it's sure helped me.

From someone who is fairly new to the platform, I'd like to #Welcome all the #newcomers to the #fediverse! Let's try to be as welcoming and #inclusive as we possibly can. We are not that nasty #birdsite 🤮. #fediverse #lemmy #kbin #Mastodon #AIart #artist #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #midjourney #stablediffusion #digitalart

welcome, newcomers, very simple and nice fedi/mastodon guide here 👆

Waving hello 👋 to any #Newcomers who stumble across my account! We're all so glad to have you here. ^^

It's nice to see more people discovering the Fediverse. I hope you all find a good place to settle down and grow to like it here. :)

#Women who are #newcomers to #Canada will be able to access free training in administrative skills through a pilot program from Algonquin College with the support of Altis Recruitment.

The Skills for Success program is open to new Canadians seeking to upgrade their skills for entry-level office administration roles. Participants must reside within the National Capital Region, hold a valid SIN and have emigrated to Canada within the last five years

It's all about the protocol, not the platform, right? So if one of the biggest actors in the #Internet embraces the protocol, that's a win, isn't it?

Let's see, what they are building with regards to the aspects like #onboarding, #search and yes, #funding. If there's something good, maybe others will learn from it and make the existing instances better (for #newcomers).

@benni Wer hat dich denn angeworben ? 🌻 👍

M5AKA's report of #Newcomers survey by #EssexHam is depressing. Just read this.

A #FollowFriday for #newcomers of #TwitterMigration:

José Luis Orihuela is a university professor, lecturer and author. He is in charge of disseminating the strategy and culture of Fediverso and Mastodon. In his mammoth #FollowFriday he compiles interesting profiles like this one where he highlights the most interesting when landing in Mastodonia from Twitter.

Two men who #NearlyDied in 2016 during their treacherous walk across the #CanadaUS $border in the frigid cold say it's a #privilege to finally call themselves Canadians. 
With the red & white of the #Canadian flag draped over their back, Seidu Mohammed & Razak Iyal became #citizens of their new home in separate #VirtualCeremonies earlier this month.

#LuniuMall launched in 2018 selling #AsianGroceries sells #ExclusivelyOnline .
Since day one, its founder & CEO Leo Lu’s goal has been to bring unique, trendy #Asian #products to #newcomers in #Canada .
Instead of getting the products from local wholesalers like most other supermarkets do, Luniu selects many of its products directly from the #AsianMarket & brings them here to Canada.

I really like #pinafore as a lightweight interface to mastodon, but I am missing the ability to set a language for my toots. Currently also using #elk, which is also nice for #newcomers as it looks a lot like the twitter UI, but Pinafore looks even more clean and minimal - it is less stressful for me.

@lowresolution It’s absolutely interesting conversation you start from this topic. In my case I’m thinking about #newcomers. How to let our students know about what #UX can deliver for their professional #careers.
