How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse? -

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 The Fediverse is global, but Europe has a lot of instances and users.
The EU institutions should have own instances
and „all“ of the Parliament an account. -

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 talk about loud about Mastodon as an alternative as well as other digital tools replacing Big Techs.
I don't read anything about activities like #digitalindependanceday or others.
And that Denmark has an app to avoid or replace US goods is remarkable too. EU should talk about, even DT might get angry -

and „all“ of the Parliament an account.@karlos there is an instance by the European Commission, but not by the European Parliament, so you make a fair point. A project for the future could be to get all EU institutions onto one EU Instance...
Inspiring comment, and thank you! -

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 We need more press coverage of the fediverse and stuff like "share on fedi" next to "share on Facebook" and the like. It should be normalized for media and business to be on fedi as well.
So from your standpoint you could fight for public press releases of the EU to include links to official fedi accounts for example.
Thank you for asking!

Thanks for the comment, @der_schrank!
I can tell you there are people working on this.
Mastodon was recently included under the "share more" option, but I'll admit it could be even more prominent. It's a first step, more steps to come. -

Maybe it would make sense to migrate to using the term "fediverse" as well. Away from the product Mastodon, because there are also other products available and competing with their commercial counterparts like Friendica (alternative to Facebook), Pixelfed (alternative to Instagram) and Loops (alternative to TikTok).
(Not to mention various smaller projects and forks or alternatives to Mastodon as well)

@der_schrank
you may have to explain to me this difference between Mastodon and fediverse. It's one of these things I don't fully understand yet (be kind, I'm new) -

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Welcome!
To promote this alternative, it is helpful to invite colleagues and friends to participate and give them reasons why it is important and better for the European and personal autonomy. This document may help to explain this.

@der_schrank

Mastodon is one of these services offering a micro blogging service like Twitter.
Pixelfed for example is a service for image posting.
So these services have different features, but as they're connected to the fediverse, people from Mastodon can follow and communicate with people from Pixelfed.
I'll leave out the technical blob on how this all works but it just does.
Does that make sense to you?

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Heya and welcome!
How was/is your onbording experience?
A lot tech savvy people I know, simply say it is still too complicated and either don’t sign up, or when signed up struggle to find content and let their accounts go stale.
It took some work but with hashtags and starter packs I found all I need. Some people are even missing algorithms even though mobile clients mimic them

️@dalcacer I'm loving my first day on Mastodon!
Did not expect this much reaction and now feeling a little shy.I'm here because we need more people who understand Mastodon / the Fediverse. I know noting, but I'm keen to learn.
And quite frankly, we owe it to Europeans to promote European tech solutions. -

️I'm personally leaving, for other reasons, but will come back with another profile. Still, I decided to boost your profile a little today, as a "final good deed"
Keep up the good work!!
