Yes, these are suggestions for the sidebar. The part with joinfedi...wiki (and joinfedi...net too!) & the other info Could be added to it, if it's not a longer list for now.

That's an option, yes. Maybe 'forumverse', 'threadiverse' etc on top of Fediverse is a bit confusing for starters?

If you are interested in forums, we have put together some resources to help new users get started with the platforms Lemmy/ Mbin / Piefed ...

Only separate like in the newtolemmy community sidebar and pinned post are separate.

I feel like that makes sense looking from the POV of these 3 platforms, but it's not a logical focus after watching Rossini's video, for example.

I think it's a great guide to answer questions about Lemmy, and so helpers also don't need to interact with the same questions over and over.

With a new community I personally wouldn't try to do the same for everything from Mastodon over Funkwhale to Mobilizon in one post. I would simply list 2-3 guides like https://jointhefediverse.net/ and https://joinfediverse.wiki/ plus 1-3 links per platform.

All good :-) Do you mean rework to adress the whole fediverse? I wouldn't suggest turning newtolemmy into newtofediverse at the expense of losing a fine community tailored to Lemmy.

My point is, as someone being new to the Fediverse you may need both, at different stages.

And the 'read-only' resource jointhefediverse.net probably should avoid choice overload by not listing a ton of newtocommunities as next step(s).

Hence the idea of offering one community newtofediverse (or other title), that is for all the dozens of platforms, but with minimal input itself. Just a safe space for questions. I wouldn't fill it guide-like, only link to a few of those existing resources and newtolemmy etc. in a pinned post, instead.

The discussion here is helpful, but it's all pointless, if fediverse people don't warm up to the idea, signalling readiness to help with actual questions. We could rework the draft and suggest an instance (lemmy.ca?) in another post to the various fediverse@... communitys.

That's kind of where I'm coming from, initially. And since the flairs are the only major thing in the way of interoperability between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed - while we'd need as much help with this as possible - I think ditching that part is best.

Yeah, it's tricky stuff. I mention those other platforms, because it's not about directing people to Piefed aside from this format. If not for the handy flair thingy for this purpose, one could just neglect the differences or discuss that somewhere else than the intro. I'm probably too intrigued by the idea of sorting questions with that feature.

And if you didn't join anything yet and feel like sorting sth out after some hearsay and the 'static' info on joinfediverse?

Right now one of the fediverse@... could be linked, but that may flood them with these questions and bury fediverse news etc interesting to regulars.
