Hello! It's my first post here ( #newhere) and I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm a musician from Eastern France, playing medieval instruments and recording pagan folk / neo folk music.
I've released two albums so far: Leaves Are Falling (full length, in 2020, feat. among others Michalina Malisz, ex-Eluveitie) and Prelude to Farewell (EP, 2024).
I'll upload some music videos here soon.
👋

Registrations are open, so please feel free to apply for an account here.

• VFans does its best to moderate the server from any unwanted content, especially from bigotry towards transmasc people and POC, as those are demographics often neglected by wider Fediverse.
• The instance is co-owned by an Indigenous person and is hosted outside of US and UK jurisdictions (therefore we will not be affected by their legislation)
• As the server uses Akkoma software, you are free to customize the theme of the default front-end (including fonts) to accomodate your disabilities when using our instance.
• We do balance our moderation actions and try not to apply complete defederations unless severe rule violations occur and the remote admins repeatedly refuse to moderate their user(s), and instead opt for limiting the instance or suspending individual users
• We blocked Threads on our instance!

Anything else

I understand the next hours and days will be the peak of the current wave to the Fediverse (unless it causes a tipping point already).

So I want to offer my help to everybody who is new here.

I can help you with:
* finding the right instance (if you're not sure you found it)
* understanding how it all works
* editing your profile and settings
* finding your bubble
* helping others find you
* finding answers to further questions

I can help you by:
* replying publicly
* replying via DM
* videocall & screensharing (one on one or in groups)
* finding others who can answer the questions that I can't

This offer goes to:
* everybody (except trolls)
* not just people on one of our (Fediverse Foundation) instances
* not just people in the climatejustice movement
* not just people using Mastodon (though I don't have experience with all software flavors)
* not even only new people

I speak English and German.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Please join me in giving a warm welcome to my interns Riyen (@patel.riyen) & Sam ( @samaaberg). They will be working with me through the end of June on videos promoting the Fediverse. This is their #introduction.

Sam & Riyen are two talented film students who are #NewHere: a mere 7 days ago they had no idea what the Fediverse was. I have the immense honor of introducing them to it.

We are filming this week! Send us good vibes 🎥✨ #EleFediVideos

Hey Mastodon world! (May sound cringe) 👋 But new kid on the block here, ready to explore this exciting, decentralized corner of the internet. I’m a [UI/UX designer/graphic designer] with a love for creativity, great design, and a good cup of coffee ☕.

Still figuring out the ropes, so feel free to share tips or just say hi! Let’s make this fun and connect—because who doesn’t love a fresh start? 🚀 #Introduction#NewHere#DesignLover

🌟 Mountains Starter Pack 🌟

As there is no algorithm, whenever people register on the Fediverse, their timeline is empty. With social media this is uncommon and therefore somewhat confusing to newcomers.

@anze3db has created a site 🙏 , where people can create Starter Packs. These are typically theme-based and gives a head-start at finding content.

Today I have created the "Mountains Starter Pack" with interesting accounts on the topic of mountains, hiking and the like (by no means this should be considered a complete list).

In case you have accounts that are relevant and you would like them on the list, just let me know and I will add them when they fit. In case you are on the list and you would like to be removed, first of all I'm sorry, and secondly of course I will remove you.

Just for your information, only accounts that are set up as "discoverable" can be added.
