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.
#NewHere #introduction@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!

#NewHere #introduction@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!

@Reinald @clew thanks, I'll take a look at this! similar name to another app that I love: https://wandrer.earth/
@spencexyz @Reinald @clew what about @endurain or @FitTrackee?
-
@spencexyz Sounds like you might like #BikeNite (and you can follow hashtags, if you didn't already know that)

#NewHere #introductionWelcome aboard, @FediTips and fedi.garden are great resources here

#NewHere #introduction@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. -
@StaceyCornelius I hadn't seen these! thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
@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! -

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz aloha and welcome!
I bet you can find other bike enthusiasts under #biking or #bikes or something similar.

#NewHere #introduction@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!

@spencexyz check this out, @skinnylatte might be right up your alley

Tits or gtfoKidding! I just thought I'd make you feel at home as you move from the wider web. Welcome, hashtag the fuck out of everything, follow widely, cats and lichen, and don't let anybody tell you you're doing it wrong.

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz Welcome. Map looks good but also looks like it covers USA only? Good to see another bike person, you're gonna find a lot of people alike on fedi

@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.

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz hello and welcome!
If your website is using WordPress, you can look into the ActivityPub plugin so that it can federate too.

hey @Bonfire ! i saw this thread and thought you might be interested. there are currently solutions like OpenTracks for tracking physical activity statistics, but none have direct integration with ActivityPub for social sharing. A bonfire extension to integrate with an existing activity tracker could help many cyclists, hikers, runners, and more activity clubs migrate from Strava to communities on the fediverse

#NewHere #introductionHi and welcome!
I'm mostly aware of the German bike fraction, but I'm sure there's plenty of people here posting in English.
It's probably been said to you before, but the best way to find people is using hashtags.
Also, you can set up an RSS feed on your website, and people can subscribe to it through the fediverse.
Wishing you all the best, and safe riding!

@lutindiscret @spencexyz oh oui, une alternative à Strava fédérée, ça serait tellement bien !
En tout cas il y a du monde au croisement du libre et du cyclotourisme / cyclisme qui pourrait peut-être aider !
Je relaie
And welcome @spencexyz, curious to follow what happens next!
