I added some more FAQs to https://jointhefediverse.net/learn.

Is there anything else that comes up a lot from folks just learning about the fediverse?

I need to add one more, which I had forgotten, but is very important: missing content.

Apparently, the solution has been there forever, but gas hardly been implemented anywhere:

This is a major obstacle for acceptance and looks like "a b7g nit a feature" from the 2000's.

@Gargron should lead the fixing right away.

Just using the model of marketing is not enough.
is vital, in particular as a hype can...

...easily develop in a vicious circle when (basic) expectations are not there.

Yes, 2 things come to mind:

  1. the "strange" use of "CW"

  2. How can I find people who a)...are interested in...
    b)...are interesting to follow because...
    c)...can speak...language?

What is the difference between Mastodon, Calckey, Bluesky, and (soon) Barcelona? In other words explaining the layers of the Fediverse--Protocol, platform, client, fork, and plug in. I think people don't know enough to ask this yet, but it will preclude a lot of future questions.

@Cassandra Thank you for the suggestion!

@stefan
Also you may want to put it under "more info" because it's not something you strictly need to know to function, but if you are at all curious beyond the basic "where do I sign up," that explanation will give you a basket for more information. I like to say if you give someone info, you need to make sure they have a basket to keep it in or it will slip through their fingers and be forgotten.

@Cassandra Yes, definitely. Let me give this some more thought.

Thank you, really appreciate it!

Cassandra,

@stefan
You're welcome. I want to see all this done well too. If you saw my earlier marketing post, my background is front end UX.

@stefan Stefan, thanks for putting this together. One of the things I wish I had better understood early on is how to use followed hashtags to refine the content in my timelines. That really helped me find accounts to follow and start interacting in the community. I see you're focusing on the fediverse in general, so I know it works a bit differently across platforms (Calckey = Antennas, for example)

@box464 Yes, hashtags are definitely important! Let me give this some more thought on how to best expand that section. Thank you!
