okay here's a rundown of the fediverse

🖤 there's no ads, everything is mostly run by volunteers because they believe in it

🖤 timelines are chronological, there's no algorithm deciding what you see. to see more, follow peeps and hashtags (and post in em, too!)

🖤 this place is SOCIAL social media, as opposed to the corporate social media you're probably used to. most are here to interact, not build clout

welcome to fedi!!! happy to have ya 😁

@vantablack Perfect run down!

It feels so much more like-minded people just hanging out because they want to. Feels old-school internet in the absolute best way.

@vantablack Also, if you live somewhere outside the American time zones, because of the chronological order you’ll miss a lot and it may seem really quiet here. In those cases the “trending” feed makes things feel more normal.

@vantablack Is this how I be social? I've been a social media lurker for way too long.

@vantablack You say timelines are chronological, and YET I keep boosting my old posts. Explain that, huh.

@vantablack

- (within a month or three) Make at least two accounts on two different servers (don't mirror between them -- use them both possibly overlapping, but separately)

@vantablack @gaditb Can I inquire more about your suggestion? Such as what benefits you, in particular, get from doing so? Or how you think people in general benefit from it?

@vantablack HI. How does a person follow a hashtag?
Show threadArena Cops 🇺🇦✌Jul 5, 2023

@RealityRules @vantablack Do you want to follow a certain hashtag?

Go to "# Explore", type the hashtag you want to follow & you'll get a list of results tied to that hashtag.
At the top of the list there's a row containing the hashtag itself & to the right a symbol with a plus-sign.
Click on that symbol & you'll be following the hashtag.

Enjoy!

@vantablack Of course it is confirmed that Facebook's Fediverse app will spam political ads when it gets up and running properly so... don't be on an Instance that don't block Meta.

@vantablack p92 the same as "Threads"?

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/3/23783227/meta-instagram-threads-twitter-competitor-app-store

Instagram’s Twitter-like Threads app looks set to launch July 6th

Meta’s Twitter competitor, Instagram Threads, will launch on July 6th, according to an App Store listing for the app. The Twitter competitor could launch as many people are extremely unhappy with Twitter itself.

@vantablack actually we can have ads on fedi, i mean, through self-advertising
