Do you think this fediverse-analogy is any good for telling people about the fediverse?

Yet you still mention mastodon, excluding every other part of the fediverse.

My bad, that's a bit inconsistent. Actually I think it should be a graphic for mastodon - the talking bird analogy just makes the most sense there. Although it kind of works for the other too ...

It's at the very bottom, I guess the picture can be updated. It seems more about highlighting Mastodon then excluding anything

[-] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yes absolutely, but the soon to be user reading this will just go to Mastodon and completely ignore everything else for at least the time they are not told of other platforms. Just leave the platforms out of context. Let them google fediverse and explore

I mean Mastodon just is the most user-friendly entry to the fediverse imo so I think its okay

Not to me it wasn't, my experience has been better wih lemmy. And it still is. I think you should just leave the opportunity open for them to actually search for the feediverse and not specifically Mastodon.

I kind of agree, this might be a better entry point: https://jointhefediverse.net/

[-] blue_berry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I updated it, I didn't include https://jointhefediverse.net/ because it seems to be run by only one person and it doesn't include lemmy :( People sending this image can also send it with a link to some point in the fediverse they like

You're doing good work!

Absolutely, although it seems outdated in the platform choice maybe?
