What it does
There's a lot of great explainer sites and articles about the fediverse, but I wanted to make something that serves as a quick introduction for a more casual audience, and lets you dig deeper from there.
Learn about the fediverse and find your community.
You're probably using Gmail. Or perhaps Outlook. Or Yahoo Mail. Regardless of your choice, you can send an email to anyone in the world without knowing or caring what service they use. If you're on Instagram or TikTok, and your friends or celebrities you like are on X, or Facebook, you will have to sign up for each separate service to stay in touch with them.

The difference from most mirroring bots is that, instead of one single bot account mirroring all content, the system creates one account for each reddit user that is being mirrored. The other part of this idea…
- YNYou Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds2018 · ▲205
Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it.
