Inspired by a new introducing video and its reference to https://jointhefediverse.net/ , see link and discussion here: https://piefed.social/post/889659
Jointhefediverse is a great resource for interested people/new users, and for those a link to a community dedicated to questions re the whole fediverse and interaction with regulars could be a nice addition.
I’m only aware of ‘Fediverse’ communities not specifically for that group, or communities tailored to new users of Piefed (https://piefed.ca/c/newtopiefed) or Lemmy (https://lemmy.ca/c/newtolemmy ). Am I missing something?
The community itself could be set up rather quickly, but maybe we talk about things like name and other basics before?
Sorry, I didnt’ see your comment (was wrongly expecting a notification). Yes, I also wouldn’t advocate for closing the specific communities. I also agree that brevity is favorable, yet you can always argue (with yourself) what should be part of a short and simple intro.
Piefed has some fitting elements like the feeds you mentioned and the post & user flairs, but since I know that personally I won’t be able to answer most questions anyway, I’m thinking biggest possible pool of helping hands. So I don’t know how much a Piefed first approach would help.
I guess at some point we try something, don’t get a whole lot of questions initially and might still struggle with them ;-)
