Here's my first Mastodon post!
My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge).
How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16@eupolicy.social suggestions:
- don't promote 'mastodon', use 'Fediverse' instead. It's more inclusive and describes the nature of the network better. Using 'mastodon' is like promoting a trademark.
- prefer to promote accounts on the Fediverse instead of WhatsApp, Twitter, Insta, ... people already know these. You don't have to abandon them as a first step, but promote Fediverse accounts over the others
- only use teasers on WA, Insta, FB, Twitter, .. they all lead to a Fedi-account. These can be read publicly with any browser, without a special app.
- give benefits to people if they use fedi, if you have the opportunity. @marcuwekling@cultur.social Did this with tickets for the recording session of his next #känguru audio book. He promoted in fedi one day ahead of other social media.
- if people argue with you, use easy understandable reasons. If you need some, ask me ( this message is long enough already )
Wish you all the best

@gagagoogle @Mastodon
the panic-button is not a bad idea.@hpod16 @Mastodon Thanks. But to be fair (and obnoxious) - none of my ideas are bad
They won't eliminate all potential problems though of course, just taking away the worst and the most.
I'm thinking other problems, like data being harvested to "sell, track and monitor" is a bit trickier. But should be solvable partly with encryption, but not for all posts, and maybe more for Lemmy than for Mastodon (otherwise it would defeat the puropse of being a public bullentin-board-style microblog)

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 well, I'm guessing the first step would be coming to the Fediverse ourselves, so at the very least we're off to a good start there 8-D
The next step would be to convince others to join us, I'm still working on that 8-P

@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)@der_schrank @hpod16 as you're learning about Mastodon and Fediverse, I *highly* suggest checking out some of the resources that @FediTips has released. They're how I learned most of what I know about fedi.
Best of luck!

Hi Hannah, welcome!
About your question, Mastodon is part of a much larger social network called the Fediverse.
I've done an easy-to-understand guide about this at https://fedi.tips/what-is-mastodon-what-is-the-fediverse/
There are also lots more guides on the front page at https://fedi.tips and feel free to ask if you want help with anything specific. I am trying to provide unofficial tech support on here

@hpod16 A belated welcome, Hannah!
@clickhere Thank you, thank you.
I can't believe what a welcome it's been!
I wonder what my boss will say on Monday morning when I explain how I suddenly became Mastodon-famous over the weekend... -

@amministratore
Thanks for the warm welcome!
What made you want to set up an Italian Catholic instance? And what kind of people does the instance host? Priests? Theologians?
Peace be with you -

Peace be with you @hpod16 the instance was born in October 2025. I wanted to create an "ethical" digital platform for Catholic Communities, priests and Catholic educators. We are small at the moment, but with God's help, we will grow.

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.digg still exists in 2026? i thought that one shut down more than ten years ago.
