Question to everybody who joined the Fediverse in the past few days:

Was it because of digital independence day or because of Trump?

Anyway, welcome to the Fediverse and if you need anything I'm here for you.

Good morning #fediverse, help me #welcome @cabbagepickle to mastodon after finally moving away from the dark side.
Some follow tips would be appreciated. Law, Cats and dogs are a good start.

I love seeing Fedi get bigger 💞 it means more people for me to #Welcome and make friends with.

But I feel like I'm seeing a lot less alt-text, and fewer content warnings on things that should have them 😢

Let's all build a culture of inclusion and accessibility as we grow together. It only takes a moment to make a difference.

Plus, if you like seeing "number go up", I know a lot of people, like me, who only boost posts with appropriate alt-text and CWs (same goes for follows) 💁🏼‍♀️

You'll love it here - lots of nice people, and not too many idiots most of the time (and they tend not to last that long when they do pop-up.) 🙂

Try following @FediTips if you have questions about how this stuff works. They are most helpful.

I understand the next hours and days will be the peak of the current wave to the Fediverse (unless it causes a tipping point already).

So I want to offer my help to everybody who is new here.

I can help you with:
* finding the right instance (if you're not sure you found it)
* understanding how it all works
* editing your profile and settings
* finding your bubble
* helping others find you
* finding answers to further questions

I can help you by:
* replying publicly
* replying via DM
* videocall & screensharing (one on one or in groups)
* finding others who can answer the questions that I can't

This offer goes to:
* everybody (except trolls)
* not just people on one of our (Fediverse Foundation) instances
* not just people in the climatejustice movement
* not just people using Mastodon (though I don't have experience with all software flavors)
* not even only new people

I speak English and German.
