Hi, we are new on #Mastodon, looking for some #Hardcore #Punk #DIY network off the well known corporate social networks. We are tired of their bullshit algorithms, ads and owners.

Give us a helping hand to start here. Follow us (and maybe share our profile), we follow back. Thank you!

#Fediverse

punx.social

Komm ins Fediverse - hier sind alle wissenswerten Punker Infos

@rwaschbaer Thank you, we check it out, looks like a helpful resource, cheers!

@fearskaper @rwaschbaer At the moment it's still all in German, but the long term is to make it at least also available in English.

Also @The_Counterforce is providing a nice collection of information

https://the-counterforce.org/guide-to-mastodon-fediverse/

And, even if you are now on Mastodon social, you can later move to https://punkstodon.de without any problem, that's the great thing on the Fediverse.

So have fun on the Fediverse, follow the @bandbot , have a look for all the punk accounts on https://fedi.punk.guide and follow @FediPunkGuide and follow and use the #punk ๐Ÿ˜‰

And feel free to follow this account

The Counterforce Guide to Mastodon and The Fediverse (for punks!) โ€“

@punxsocial Thank you! We've heard great things about @The_Counterforce and @FediPunkGuide already.

We just followed @bandbot as well, but we really hope there are way more than 116 bands in the #Fediverse ;) Are you the one curating it? Would you mind adding us to it, too? Cheers!

@fearskaper

@admin can do that. They know it now. ๐Ÿ˜œ

@fearskaper Welcome, for a start you can subscribe to the #punk hashtag !
@bernard_dub Ok, we did, and to #Hardcore, #Screamo, #Mosh and #Sludge ;) Cheers!
@fearskaper You're all set then. I love the #punk hashtag, it's pretty universal across the world. So sit back and enjoy the serendipity ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป

@fearskaper fรกilte! welcome!

If you're looking for interesting people to follow, I find it useful to

- search for accounts/bots you already follow on other social media sites

- follow tags you're interested in, like #punk until you find accounts that post about stuff you're interested in

Mastodon is slower than other social media, but it's also more personal and less stressful (in my experience)

@punc Thank you. Don't think that Mastodon is slower, we had probably more personal conversations here in the last hour than on Instagram during the last year. Feels human, feels good. Cheers!
@fearskaper
Well, intro posts often have many people swarming in to say hi and few toots get 100+ boosts. Donโ€™t expect every toot to go like this.  
@punc
@curiousicae Even in this case, the start was much warmer compared to Bluesky. So can't be worse here ;)
@fearskaper oh also! Check out https://fedi.punk.guide/ and get yourself listed. I've picked up a few followers from it .....

Hello. Greetings from Hanover, Germany. Welcome to Mastodon! There are a lot of nice people here. Many of them are punk and metal fanatics. You'll get to know them soon. I've already downloaded your demo. Thanks for that.
