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.

@alex_p_roe @hpod16 We realised that our instance urgently needed icons for ketchup
and mayonnaise 
– an artist in the moderator team made this possible.@Trojaner Haha, this is amazing. (I was going to jump in with some info about emojis, etc., but I think it's mostly been covered.)
Yes, having custom emojis for your server/community is very important. The admins of @mastodonie - an Irish instance - added icons for a pint of stout, Tayto crisps (the national potato chip), Brennan's bread (an indispensable loaf), and (most important of all) a mug of tea.

@clickhere @Trojaner @mastodonie @alex_p_roe
Ok but let me understand this:
I can only really see those icons, if I'm on that Irish instance? Or if my instance supports those? Wondering if it's worth going down the rabbit hole of figuring out how to make these / use these for our official EU Commission instance... -

You'll just have to tell them that Mastodon/Fediverse is the future.
