@feditips noted! Sorry for contributing to the overwhelm, and thank you for what you do!

I also wrote this explanation with a church analogy because I know people who are more churchy than technical

I live an area where even most of the left-wingers go to church on Sunday

@feditips Thank you for sharing

@feditips Thank you so much for putting that info together. This has been the easiest transition to an open source project ever, thanks to all the good info on your website.

@feditips Your tips site is great, thanks for making the effort to compile it.

@feditips hey, thanks for the master post. I get the feeling a ton of twitter expats will be looking into this.

@feditips I keep thinking that I'll update my fedi guide site, but then I see sites like yours which are already doing a much better job to point people to

@feditips
This looks great, thanks so much for all the work you put in to the fediverse community. One little niggle, I think comparing Friendica to FB sets people up for disappointment when they try it, rather than allowing them to evaluate it on its own merits. Maybe there was more equivalence at one time, but these days neither the feature set nor the UI of FB is much like Friendica. It's more akin to a federated LiveJournal or WordPress.

@feditips hello. I'm new here, just a quick early thank you for the tips and advice you're posting. I'm already learning things and finding answers to my questions. Chapeau to you 😀

@feditips

I might have got a question about peertube.

After I upload a dataset there, does my personal storage on my device have to be online for content to be available to otgers, or can I treat it as a cloud, just dump the set there and remove from my local storages?

@feditips

I might have got a question regarding a peertube.

Can I treat a peertube instance as a cloud storage for videos and just dump content there and remove lically, or does the copy on my local storage have to be alive as a first seed for whole traffic around specific video to get bootstrapped?

@feditips bookmarked

@feditips
Finally had a chance to read some of the tips. Very well done. If I started with your website fedi.tips I would have saved myself some consternation (toots, instances, edit images), but figuring it out also meant I spent a lot of time interacting with people and toots. Win/Win either way. Definitely recommend for those who want to spend less time floundering.

@feditips hope this isn’t a repeated question- if so can you just let me know where it is on your site

The eye - see enclosed screenshot- what does it mean?

And thanks for the guide - have read a lot of it. Simple English text makes for great readability

@feditips I just signed up and have been told by other new members that they have been sending me dms, but there is nothing in my dm folder and I can’t figure out how to send any

@feditips
One thing my googling skills has failed me at is how to create and maintain a relay.

@feditips I have read your website, it’s helpful - thanks. I saw a post with other app options but lost it. I’m new to this space and really need more help in navigating. Eg on the mastodon app I cannot find the world subgroup/server that I created an account on, so now I cannot log in. Any suggestions to solve this?

@feditips is there a way follow things like #ue5 so they show up in feed or just following a bot that boosts these post the way to go?

Sharing again ... for all the new mastodon users.
