PLEASE DON'T REPLY TO THIS PART OF THE THREAD, IT MIGHT SPAM THE GROUP.
There has been much interest in #PeerTube, the Fediverse's video platform. It's really cool and its accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc.
However, PeerTubers sometimes don't get followers and views, and they need followers for their videos to be noticed/searchable by the Fediverse's federation system, so it's catch-22.
This cycle would be broken if more people followed PeerTubers, so here's a thread of some active accounts to follow! (And feel free to share!)
@FediFollows Can I throw myself in the ring? sundancer@tube.sp-codes.de Various stuff and talk about painting and build tiny fighting men (Tabeltop Wargaming)
1. Add #Fedi22 to your profile description 2. Add the hashtags you want to be listed under to your profile description 3. Go to https://fediverse.info/explore/people and click on "Add Account" at the top.
(My own directory is manually maintained and is more for accounts on specific topics.)
If you want to instantly add your own personal account to a Mastodon/Fediverse directory, I can recommend this one:
1. Add #Fedi22 to your profile description 2. Add the hashtags you want to be listed under to your profile description 3. Go to https://fediverse.info/explore/people and click on "Add Account" at the top.
@FediFollows@dansup@pixelfed this is such a convoluted way to add one’s profile to it. I came here as an alternative to twitter, and I have to follow 4 steps recipe in mobile. Can you make it so we can do that with a single button?
@FediFollows@dansup@pixelfed I don’t understand. What is the point of this directory? Not being deliberately obtuse.. just new here. I would think something like this might be nice to help track one individual over multiple instances and time.. but it doesn’t look like that’s the purpose.
- You don't have to wait for me to randomly post interesting accounts to follow. I have a website at https://fedi.directory which has all the recommendations sorted into categories.
@FediFollows If you find Inkskape & Gimp to be too UI heavy for your needs & expertise, a nice alternative is http://getpaint.net/, a free tool that is much more capable than MS Paint, without the steep learning curve of others.
It is Windows only, and is no longer open source, however.
@FediFollows@TPR@gbhnews Of course! TPR is the local news station I listen to, so I figured it couldn't hurt to reach out to them. I hope they see the warm reception here and stick around!
