The account @FediTips should just go ahead and rename itself to "MastodonTips" since the account hardly (ever?) posts any tips that aren't specific to .

There's more to the
than Mastodon. A lot more. Like a much more enriching and rewarding experience more.

I have an entire account @FediVideo and instance fedi.video devoted to PeerTube. I post on the account several times a day.

I have guides about non-Mastodon platforms on the fedi.tips website, scroll down to see them.

The reason I focus on Mastodon so much is that is where almost all new people enter the Fediverse at the moment, and it's new people who need the most help getting started. If new people came here via another platform, I would focus on that.

I also have an account @FediGarden and site at fedi.garden which lists both Mastodon and non-Mastodon instances that are well-run and reliable.

@FediTips

Which has absolutely nothing to do with that fact that your account "FediTips" only posts "tips" for "Mastodon" and not the greater Fediverse.

Which -- of course -- was my point.

I do post about other platforms, for example I've often featured BookWyrm, PeerTube, OwnCast, Pixelfed etc.

But by far the majority of questions I get from new people are from Mastodon users. Other platforms tend to have techy users who don't need my help.

I am very worried by this situation, it would be much better if new people were entering the Fediverse on a wide variety of platforms. However, at the moment it seems Mastodon is the only one that is chosen by new people.

Here's a post about using WordPress as a Fediverse platform for example, this was just a few days ago:

I think you're doing awesome for what it's worth.
