Fedicate now has an updated homepage, making it easier for new people to learn what the Fediverse is and get to the correct places for certain things.
Well we don't have much guides at the moment I'll be adding more in the future. Our resources include sending people to @[email protected] as well as the #FediWall & #LemmyExplorer
More useful links will be added in the future, but what do you think of it all so far?

I hope this thread helps members understand community needs and costs, and helps people stay mindful and intentional on instances
Many admins and mods run at little to no profit — we’re just people with all sorts of life events and struggles, managing instances with little to no help from Mastadon
It’s not just your report or feedback — it’s hundreds to thousands each week or day
We’re happy to have you! Please keep in mind community needs while you’re here
10/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
-
The above activities can lead to instances:
shutting down due to legal issues (why defederating from instances is vital, given different international laws)
running out of money to run the instance (especially if donating members quit due to safety issues)
admin/mod burnout and difficulty recruiting volunteers (most instances aren’t big enough to generate profit to financially pay off as a job; those that are, only some are paid, others volunteer)
-
If you don’t want rules, moderation, defederation (protecting everyone and the instance itself) and don’t realize you’re joining communities that run higher costs because of your presence
Mastadon (or other decentralized platforms like Discord that function similarly) may not be right for you
Even if you donate to instances, you may cost instances more
One bad actor heavily attacking Disabled.Social cost a community fundraiser event — we can’t do it all
9/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
-
This is why it’s a smart business and safety decision to limit or suspend members violating rules and requests from admins/mods on different instances, who try to create instance wars and safety problems:
pitting communities against each other
migrating to new instances to post about ex instances
wanting instances to not use critical moderating tools like rules, strikes systems, admins/mods communicating issues across different instances, suspensions, defederating
7/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
-
Members used to heavily posting on centralized social media platforms may not realize doing so on their Mastadon instances costs admins and mods more money, time and energy via increased demands on storage, bandwidth, and server processing power
That doesn’t mean we don’t want you to be here or post! It just means your admins and mods appreciate intentional posting (focused on community needs or news, not just ourselves) and donations that help the community exist
-
Admins and mods (not Mastadon) make and uphold instance rules and moderation to reduce conflict and maintain safety
This is financially (not just legally) smart
When a member violates rules, that member may generate more engagement responses and resultingly more moderation reports — increasing financial and labor burdens of admins and mods (with less money, time, ability to focus on other tasks)
Intentional community is awareness of costs we bring to communities
5/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
-
No one on any social media platform has a right to an account
It costs every social media platform to host a user and their content
But with centralized social media, the platform eats costs (with ads, selling your data to third parties, etc)
With decentralized social media like Mastadon, your community on your instance may donate to maintain the instance (thanks to those who do!) — if donations are short of costs, admins/mods pay
2/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
-
Mastadon being decentalized means instance admins and moderators bear financial and labor burden of hosting, maintaining, moderation (not Mastadon)
Like you pay for growing phone storage space, admins/mods of instances cover cost increases with each new member’s presence (like Discord)
The cost burden is not fixed, and can be a lot for big and small communities depending on member size, community engagement, if instance owners can afford costs (even if you donate)
#1/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
-
If the ratio of members to admins/mods exceeds a certain threshold (and especially if members post a lot and/or generate a lot of moderation reports) it can take more money, time and labor to maintain and moderate an instance than you may imagine
This is especially the case for members violating rules and not being intentionally mindful of the community costs of their presence and violations
What does this look like in action? Great question, thank you for asking
4/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
-
This is why it’s vital that instances (especially big ones or even small ones with very active members who post a lot) have solid admins and mods willing to upkeep maintenance:
instance upgrades, financial updates and reports, moderation tools, increasingly more difficult new member analysis in the age of AI and increasing scams/bad actors (and bad actors attacking marginalized communities, which alone is a huge burden for smaller instances), and more

@adelinej @Anaterya coucou, suite à vos réponses j’ai commencé un carnet ou je noterai mes observation sur CW, ou hashtags. Ce afin de me sentir à l’aise mais aussi pour en faire un soutien #FediGuide.
J’ai aussi pris le temps de faire le tour auprès de tout mes abonnements et abonnées pour noter les différents pronoms et mots que je comprenais ou non je pense que cela m’aidera à mettre en place une communication Safe pour ceux qui me suivent et adapté au contexte quand je publie. Je vous remercie beaucoup.Investir du temps dans le fediverse m’aide à organiser mes pensées et structurer mes prises de notes et partages.

Are there any actually good books about the Fediverse people would suggest to read? I know I've seen one or two little books out there on the market but I'd love to know if there's some sort of Fediverse Guide or something on the market that you know of.

Forse non tutti sanno che è possibile programmare un post su Writefreely
Writefreely è una piattaforma di blogging molto semplice da usare per scrivere semplici testi formattati e ha il vantaggio di essere compatibile con il Fediverso in maniera nativa.
Una funzione non molto conosciuta è tuttavia quella della pubblicazione programmata: da qualche tempo infatti WriteFreely supporta la programmazione dei post, anche se questa funzionalità non è ancora molto intuitiva.
Per programmare un post dall'applicazione web:
1. Pubblica un post come bozza, ricordando di selezionare la pubblicazione su "Bozze" e non sul nome tuo blog
2. Nella parte superiore della pagina, fare clic su Edit (o Modifica)
3. Sempre nella parte superiore della pagina, sulla destra barra degli strumenti comparirà la nuova icona "(i)"
4. Se farai clic su di essa, potrai vedere il campo con l'ora di "Creazione"; potrai modificare quel valore in una data futura e salvare le tue impostazioni
5. A questo punto potrai andare alla pagina Draft o Bozze facendo click sulll'icona dei menu a destra
6. Siamo giunti alla fine: se farai clic su "move to fediverse" (o "sposta sul tuo blog ") il post verrà programmato per la data impostata!
--------------------------------------
NB: i post di Writefreely sono "federati" ma i commenti a quei post non sono visibili! Per avere una notifica quando qualcuno commenterà il tuo post da un altro software del Fediverso, devi fare così:
Firma tutti i tuoi post inserendo alla fine della pagina il tuo indirizzo del fediverso nella forma
@tuonome@tuaistanzae ogni volta che qualcuno proverà a commentare il tuo post, riceverai la sua risposta sul tuo account Mastodon/Friendica/etc---------------------------------------

Nice brief #fediguide for newcomers written by @HaruEb that isn't overwhelming. 👏 Folks on #Hajkey #Iceshrimp & #Firefish servers can use antennas to follow #hashtags.
Please give Haru some reaction emoji love on their original post. 🎉 :blobcat_rainbowheart:

RE: https://blahaj.zone/notes/9h8juj26im -
How to have a good time on #mastodon / #calckey / #iceshrimp / #firefish / #fediverse
A guide by me based on my first week here!
1. Search for and follow #tags / #hashtags related to interests you have, e.g. #flowers
2. If you find a post you like, check that person's profile, lots of people will have enough info just in their bio for you to tell if you'd like to see more from them, but if not, check their post history. As a rule though, you might as well follow them and you can unfollow if they post stuff you aren't into.
3. Look at all the other tags on posts you see in your searches or home feed to see other ways people might tag similar content, i.e. in our #flowers example you'll find #bloomscrolling !
4. Once you've followed a few people and/or tags, your home feed will start to populate with content and you can repeat points 2 and 3!
5. Use what you see as inspiration for your own posts, be they text or image posts. If you post images, you should ALWAYS add alt-text for #accessibility. Many #fediverse users will simply not follow accounts or boost posts without alt-text. It's easy and actually kinda fun to think about what a vision impaired person might need in a description, so just do it! (EDIT: I have changed my thoughts on alt-text thanks to @[email protected] see reply below but including the better instructions they gave here)
"The more useful advice is that if you (generic) find alt-text easy, and especially fun, to write, follow the hashtags Alt4U, AltText4U and AltTextForYou, so you can pitch in when someone requests alt text on their images. (Hashtag symbol left out to avoid filling the tag) Provide alt-text in replies to images you notice without it, without judgement." -TeaMug
Make sure you also use #tags so others can find your posts and put content warnings on sensitive content (this will vary from instance to instance check your local rules and use common sense)
6. Search/follow the #feditips tag for more tips and tricks!
And that's it! Anyone who knows more than me and sees this, I'd love to hear your #feedback on anything I missed or that seems off.
Other than that I wish everyone who reads this a lovely day and happy scrolling/posting.

the never-ending #FediGuide 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.

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
-
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
-
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 for iOS and just use the mobile browser, but there Is a new app in development i think?)
-
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!
-
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: @[email protected]
-
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?
