Do you have a friend or family member who is not on Mastodon?

And you are thinking, "love to introduce them, but the whole multiple servers thing... 🤔"

Well, you are in luck.

A new site makes joining Mastodon a snap >>> https://spreadmastodon.org/

In minutes, #newbies will be up and running on mastodon.social (other instances coming soon).

@spreadmastodon has been developed by @tchambers and his team, so you know it's safe to recommend.

Let's do this!

Spread Mastodon

Welcome to your better social home.

It looks interesting, but what does it do?
First thing the web site does is ask me to sign in to my Mastodon account.
Second thing is, my Mastodon instance asks me if I want to authorize SpreadMastodon.org for full access to my account.
No explanation of what is going to happen or what is intended.

I'm not saying Yes if the website isn't even going to give me the courtesy of telling me what is intended, other than: "Do this! It'll be really cool!"

@potungthul @mastodonmigration @tchambers one says it is for signing up new accounts - the other we can add more description as to what “enhance” does, but it helps users find more active accounts to follow and key hashtags to add….

Sounds useful!
But, to this point, I seem to be just talking to "business" accounts SpreadMastodon@ etc. without an actual person, so I have some questions:
1.What is your name?
2.Can I get Tim Chambers to verify?
3. I see the text "@tchambers" mentioned, but without an instance name, that just refers to your own instance, so it's @Tchambers which is NOT the same account as @tchambers, right?

Also, could tchambers please show Mastodon verification? I mean the equivalent of the Blue Checkmark from Twitter, meaning that on your website there is a tag that produces the green Verified checkmark on Mastodon. (I think you're supposed to embed <id= (your Mastodon account)> on that web page, or something.
It should be easy to do, and I don't want anyone spoof name-dropping tchambers.

Sorry, go ahead and call me paranoid.

@potungthul @spreadmastodon @mastodonmigration @Tchambers

And Mastodon social was my first account and migrated over to a new server I admin at Indieweb.social…. 👍

@tchambers @spreadmastodon @mastodonmigration @Tchambers
Thanks for verifying. Just didn't want to assume. Thanks for doing all this.
