Welcome to The Federation!
The Federation (not to be confused with the
Fediverse) is a combination of 5 different social networks:
These networks are interconnected.Posts that are made on one network is shared with the others, but each network has different features and looks.
Instead of showing content according to popularity and/or individual user behavior, we use #
hashtags and sharing. If a stranger's post has a #
hashtag you are following, it will show up in your stream. If you are sharing with someone, you will see all of their posts.
You wont find any content unless you follow a bunch of appropriate #
hashtags, check out other profiles and share with people. Also make sure you
engage, leave comments and use proper #
hashtags in your own posts, otherwise we wouldn't know you exist.
You are
free to block and ignore users as you see fit. Please try to be excellent to each other, the admins shouldn't be bothered with childish trollwars or denouncism.
It's up to the community to distribute content,
invite new people, pay for our servers and fight any kind of commercial spamming, propaganda, etc. (This #
newhere message is a good example of this in action.)
You can find out more from the
FAQ's and Tutorials listed above (next to each network). The tutorial for Friendica users is on every site, under /help. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.
The experience you have on this network is in your own hands... good luck! =D
