    Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

    My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

          @spencexyz Looks like you have a good amount of resources shared in the comments already.
          I might add to check your local library for a copy of this book. If not, ask them to acquire it!

              @spencexyz there are a ton of biking tooters here! I hope you make a good place for yourself!

              Remember, block liberally, alt-text your photos, and there's no algorithm (besides "reverse-chronogical"), so you gotta chase your own engagement. Let it grow slowly, post regularly, your network will grow nice.

              Cheers!

                  @spencexyz Sounds like you might like #BikeNite (and you can follow hashtags, if you didn't already know that)

                      @spencexyz Yes--Hashtags are essential for finding the content and people you want in the Fediverse. And I thought @smellsofbikes might have noticed this thread by now, but I guess not so I'll tag him. This is right up his alley.

                        @spencexyz @StaceyCornelius #bikenite runs every Friday from 7-8pm (eastern time) though a lot of the folks are based in CA (4-5pm their time)

                        @ascentale hosts, and gives 8 prompts each week that you can respond to in real time, or any time at your convenience

                        Sometimes it gets super-geeky, and sometimes it’s light-hearted, but your content would be very welcome!

                          I bet you can find other bike enthusiasts under #biking or #bikes or something similar.

                            @spencexyz Welcome! My best advice is to follow hashtags and to follow liberally. You can always unfollow if someone isn’t a good fit. Quality conversations are the goal, not the number of followers or mentions.

                            Welcome!

                                      @claralistensprechen3rd @spencexyz I've seen other people on here who have rolled their own persona versions of Strava, but I haven't previously seen anyone doing a bike equivalent of open street maps. It'd sure be nice.

                                        @clew right now it refers to content you put online, like photos and posts you make about your long distance bicycle adventures.

                                        long term, I'd love to see a federated version of Strava. every year they cut down their api access further and further. but it's our data and we should be able to share with any external apps we want.

                                        I'm trying to figure out how I can use the tools I'm building to expose more cyclists to the fediverse and help fuel that demand.

                                          Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

                                          My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

                                          @spencexyz hello and welcome!

                                          If your website is using WordPress, you can look into the ActivityPub plugin so that it can federate too.
