Föderation EN So 08.12.2024 14:03:18 I’m doing a training next month on decentralized social media, #fediverse, etc. for a group that isn’t entirely tech-focused. Some tech, some creative, some finance, etc. What are the best #Mastodon and #ActivityPub explainers or resources you’ve seen on the web? If you could hand someone a single resource to explain the idea of federation to someone who is not technical and has no prior knowledge, what would it be? |

Föderation EN So 08.12.2024 14:15:39 Hey Justin, I run an unofficial tech support account for the Fediverse, and there are lots of guides for beginners at https://fedi.tips I wrote the guides specifically for non-technical people. The most essential guides are at the top of the page in the "quick start" section and there is a complete list of guides below that. Feel free to ask if you want help with anything! |

You might host your email at Gmail or your company or someone else, but you can still talk to other people. Also the idea of following a hashtag instead of a user is a bit like subscribing to a topic on a forum, sub on Reddit or joining an FB group. |
