For anyone celebrating/taking part in today's Media Liberation Day, I've created some (hopefully) useful resources over the years, if this is of any interest: - a non-technical intro to the fediverse through polls:
A netizen’s guide to Mastodon and the fediverse | Stefan Bohacek
Learning about the fediverse from the people who use it.
 - a how-to guide focused on Mastodon:
How to join Mastodon (and the fediverse) | Stefan Bohacek
A guide for newcomers.
 - a bunch of "fediverse explorations":
Posts labeled #fediverse-explorations | Stefan Bohacek
 - and, of course,
Join the fediverse!
Learn about the fediverse and find your community.
 And as a bonus: typographic fediverse-themed experiments. #MediaLiberationDay #fediverse

Interesting. WordPress and Ghost now make up more than half of all fediverse servers. https://fedi.wrm.sr #fediverse image
I'm now running 60 automated fediverse accounts, packaged in an award-winning project that once got mentioned in the Rolling Stone magazine.
