I'm working on a YouTube mini series explaining the Fediverse!!
Who are the most knowledgeable people in this realm who I should definitely talk to?
What do you think is important to include in my series? I want to hear thoughts!!
Your feed is still "for you", but its "by you" now.
It is not made by an algorithm that builds it for you automatically. You have the power and responsibility to build it your self. Its more work but also more freedom.
There are many different bubbles/cultures in the fediverse and thus a variety of feed possibilities. From hyper political to just the plushieverse to just pictures of moss...
The Fediverse may not house as many people but that makes it more human and calmer often.
@taylorlorenz
@_elena !!!
You MUST include her and her work!
@taylorlorenz @phocks you definitely need to include plenty of trans representation, and other LGBTIQ groups. Most (but not all servers) are very inclusive, and openly declare that if you are unhappy around non traditional identities you probably should go elsewhere.
Yes, you are right. I like to say that the fediverse is a scrappy community project.
And through my own replies, as I've made a few, and looking through other people's replies, I don't get a sense that people here feel that the fediverse relies on a single person, or even a handful of people. I myself listed a few developers, but also people who create non-technical resources. And I tried to think of people who don't always get mentioned in these sort of lists -- and admittedly, I am still leaving important names out.
I was not joking when I said that this is why I barely ever do Follow Fridays, there are just too many people to remember!
Those starter packs can't get here soon enough.

@taylorlorenz In the German speaking realm: Linus Neumann https://23.social/@linuzifer, Tim Pritlove https://mastodon.social/@timpritlove
Gavin Karlmeier https://www.gavinkarlmeier.de
But I think they know their bit of English too.
@taylorlorenz What a question! The success has many fathers/mothers, so you will get as many responses.
No fediverse without ActivtyPub. Talk to the people who made ActivityPub. @Gargron was mentioned, but @cwebber and @evan are as important.
Talk to Arnaud Le Hors from IBM. He was chair of the Social Web WG for a very long time. A lot of myth around the creation of Activity Pub was build recently. What I like the most? People/Influencers mansplaining fediverse to @cwebber 😅
@taylorlorenz definitely absolutely @_elena
@taylorlorenz definitely ask @FediTips! They already do an amazing job at explaining the Fediverse and writing down tips for everyone :)
@taylorlorenz
Since hashtags are something you can follow in the Fediverse, talk to @paul who (among other things) runs the 9 o'clock #HashtagGames ( @hashtaggames ) as a common bubble-piercing activity here.
@taylorlorenz definitely speak with @jerry
Will they be on Peer Tube too? @taylorlorenz
@taylorlorenz I would definitely talk to @sabrinkmann. He’s doing a lot of different Mastodon/Fediverse projects and is the biggest enthusiast I know 💜
@taylorlorenz maybe @cwebber if she has the time, she authored the protocol fedi works on after all
