Inspired by a new introducing video and its reference to https://jointhefediverse.net/ , see link and discussion here: https://piefed.social/post/889659

Jointhefediverse is a great resource for interested people/new users, and for those a link to a community dedicated to questions re the whole fediverse and interaction with regulars could be a nice addition.

I’m only aware of ‘Fediverse’ communities not specifically for that group, or communities tailored to new users of Piefed (https://piefed.ca/c/newtopiefed) or Lemmy (https://lemmy.ca/c/newtolemmy ). Am I missing something?

The community itself could be set up rather quickly, but maybe we talk about things like name and other basics before?

      If you are interested in a Forumverse platform (Lemmy / Mbin / Piefed), we have put together some resources to help new users get started.
      (links to relevant communities and threads, similar to https://lemmy.ca/post/40668574)"

        That’s an option, yes. Maybe ‘forumverse’, ‘threadiverse’ etc on top of Fediverse is a bit confusing for starters?
