Hey, welcome new people! 👋 Are you wanting to convince others to try Mastodon too?

Show them this video to explain what it actually is: tilvids.com/w/wx2iLhD3pTipbKFJ

Tell them they can find servers to sign up on at joinmastodon.org/servers or fedi.garden and all these servers have promised to uphold certain standards (joinmastodon.org/covenant).

If they have any questions about using Mastodon or the Fediverse, they should take a look at fedi.tips or ask me directly.

@feditips It's great but leaves out one point that I think is SUPER important: Don't worry too much about which server you choose because you can change servers and bring your followers along with you! Maybe Mastodon's most important feature?

@feditips it seems like I can see posts from all servers (the fediverse), not just the one I'm on. Is there any benefit to being on more than one server?

I have a question. Ok, more than one. Do certain types of people prefer certain types of servers or instances or whatever they're called ? Can you switch once you've joined or are you "stuck" wherever you start? And if you can switch, how would you explore what's available? How do you find new people who share your interests? Please explain this like you would explain it to your grandma. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip! However, a warning to others, check out your new server as a user before you move over. The server I moved to (mastodon.cloud) is missing the "Explore" option which was probably the most valuable option for me so that I could find other accounts I'm interested in.

@feditips "we use ... peertube ..., which is sort of like the Mastodon of youtube" -- Oops: more sort of like the youtube of Mastodon.
