We started this account less than 6 months ago. It's going pretty well ā€“ thanks to you: 4.2k followers, lots of interactions, questions, and comments. šŸŽ‰

A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages.  

Challenge accepted. šŸ‘

So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. āŒØļø

@dw_innovation Since you're posting mostly articles, do consider (cross-)posting to #lemmy as well, as it's way more set for these sort of posts. You can even post in to lemmy from mastodon by @-ing the community you want.

@mapache

I don't recommend Lemmy, sorry.(More info: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/112123530449596792)

Years ago I used to recommend a Fedi platform called Lemmy. However, in 2021 some very disturbing stuff about Lemmy's developers came out which totally changed my mind. Because of this, I did a thread to warn people about Lemmy and then never mentioned them again. Today a mod on this account's old server deleted the 2021 thread, without any explanation but apparently by mistake. If you're looking for the thread, it's on the Internet Archive: āž”ļø https://web.archive.org/web/20230603001819/https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379 #Lemmy #HumanRights

@mapache @db0 @dw_innovation @FediTips As you can see this rabbit hole can get a bit deep but some search terms which might be a bit more promising are: #Threadiverse #Kbin #PieFed #sublinks . This part of the Fediverse is a bit less well developed than the microblogging part but there has been a lot of activity in recent months and I have every reason to expect further development (both technically and in terms of things like moderation tools and standards).

@mapache @db0 @dw_innovation Lemmy works similar to guppe groups, if you are posting to them at least, by mentioning the group handle

Following a Lemmy community from Mastodon unfortunately will fill your feed with any comment posted to the group :/

Iā€™d love to either find or make a project that cleans up following Lemmy communities on other fediverse platforms tho

@grant @db0 @dw_innovation I know! I subscribed to a memes thread, and altho the memes are nice, the comments were adding a lot of noise to my feed so I decided to unsubscribe.
