Mastodon Zine Rough Draft

Here’s a Mastodon-themed zine that I’ve been working on for a while. I started this a year ago, but put it on pause because I didn’t think it was getting to where I’d like it to be. I decided to bring this project back out and make some tweaks to it before sharing the draft here publicly, with the hope of getting feedback and collaborating on it with other folks.

This draft (and the final zine) are CC-BY licensed. This is a single page zine that can be printed and folded at home using the directions I shared in this blog post https://docpop.org/zine

Mastodon Zine v2 (April 24th, 2025):

Here is v2 of the Mastodon zine. Based on feedback from v1 of the zine, I switched up the font. The new font uses an open-source font called Cascadia Mono (available here). I shortened a few sentences and added a drawing of a DeLorean.

I think this zine should either be about why Mastodon (and the fediverse) is worth exploring OR it should be about how to join Mastodon, but I don’t think it’s capable of doing both. So for v3 I’m thinking about removing the last 3 pages about how to join Mastodon and reduce that to a link and QR code. Maybe a link to my “How To Get Started With Mastodon” post.

Below is the version you can print and fold at home (using the zine making instructions here):
