Hi,
I think it’s time to introduce myself.
I’m Paula (she/her), known in the Fediverse mostly as PaulaToThePeople @PaulaToThePeople@climatejustice.social.
I was invited here by @strypey and created this account representing https://joinfediverse.wiki a wiki about the Fediverse I created more than 3 years ago.
JoinFediverseWiki
The wiki is supposed to be a first contact point to the Fediverse for people who don’t know much or anything about it yet. The aim is to give a good overview to answer the most common questions for people new to the subject. But there is also space to dump all your nerd knowledge about fringe Fediverse aspects as well as guides for developing your own Fediverse software, if that’s what you want to share.
I’m not consistent in my activity on the wiki and neither are other editors and translators. Right now we’re in a rather long phase of low activity and we should find new editors and translators to update and add info. So if anyone wants to join, please do so!
I’ve also started a process of overhauling the general structure, but haven’t found the time to finish it yet.
I’m thinking of using this forum for discussing things about the wiki, which direction it should go and how to improve the design, overview and accessibility as well as ways to collaborate with other Fediverse information resources like https://fediverse.info, https://fedi.tips, https://fedi.garden, https://joinfediverse.net, https://fediverse.party, https://fedi.db, https://fediverse.observer, https://fedi.guide, https://the-federation.info, https://instances.social, https://fedi.directory, https://fedi-search.com, https://whomtofollow.com, and all the others.
Me
I’m 35 years old, non-binary, white and Austrian, living in Vienna.
I am studying to become a specialist for animal-assisted work (education, intervention, coaching, therapy) and am looking forward to working in that field with my dog Platon.
My biggest passion besides the Fediverse is climatejustice. I’ve been an activist since 2019 and now I’m about to start my own project, where I’m trying to go away from activism, demands and even talking about “climate”, but rather see how we can reach people who get angry just hearing the word “climate” and get them to change even a little bit.
I joined the Fediverse in 2018 and am now hosting a few instances together with the Fediverse Foundation (Fediverse Foundation).
We have a lot of free space on our server and filling it with more instances wouldn’t increase the expenses for power and traffic, so if you know of any instance looking for a new host, you can direct them to us. So far our tech team is experienced with Mastodon and Lemmy.
I’m happy to be here and looking forward to interesting discussions and collaboration opportunities.
