I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.

To people outside the Fediverse.

To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.

To people who recently joined the Fediverse.

And more.

...

What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

(Reply with your answers.)

@reiver No technical mumbo jumbo during the onboarding. Keep tech people with no teaching skills away from the tutorials.
Disband the HOA (this one is a tough one).

@David @reiver Tutorials…is there someplace where all these are currently housed? Because I haven’t a clue where that is and I’ve been using Mastodon for about 2 years. But yes, it would be fabulous if there were videos someplace that walked us thru the early experiences of starting.

Also, yes, a lot less tech speak. Use $2 words instead of $10 words. I’m in my 70s and I did sort of figure it out, still learning, but it could have been easier.

@kentuckyalumni There is no "official" tutorial but there are a bunch online. Few are actually useful, sadly.

@reiver

@David @reiver It is what it is. Always a slog. But maybe going forward things will get better. I’m hopeful.
