       Here's my first Mastodon post! My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge). How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?

       @hpod16 I think a program that would provide funding to support some types of organizations setting up their own fedi instances could be a good idea for getting more of them on board. That could get all sorts of local information streams people naturally want to subscribe to over here.Also, looking at for example the Forkiverse you see how effective that can be in getting people to at least try fedi when there's a natural community around something.#forkiverse #digitalsovereignty

       (1/2)@ikuturso> a program that would provide funding to support some types of organizations setting up their own fedi instancesYes! There is so much low-hanging fruit here. Take newsrooms, for example. They don't necessarily need anything as resource-heavy as a Mastodon server. Most of them already publish RSS, showing them how to use existing tools to also publish an AP feed would make much more quality content followable.@hpod16

       (2/2)Stage 2 could be showing them tools for collecting and browsing any replies to posts published by their RSS>AP bot. Tools that allow them to selectively publish comments, a la the newspaper convention of 'letters to the editor'.Stage 3 could be a consortium of newsrooms sharing a server to create official accounts for their staff, using their employer's domain name. Using Takahē, or other AP software where a single server can host accounts under more than one domain.

       @hpod16 Welcome! By telling them not to overthink it.1. There ARE plenty of active Europeans on here, in all EU languages, you can really turn it into a nice little anglo-free oasis with the right filters and still have plenty of content.2. We're not all techies. I still don't know wtf is a Linux, it's fine. If you just want to shitpost and share cat pictures or share stitching patterns or soup recipes, you'll find your people by following hashtags. 3. Show them #FinnCleo
