@torresjrjr @savjee@masmsddn.io With this guide, how many people hang out in IRC ? I am asking as would it be worth, at a set time each week a group of us being in an IRC channel to answer questions about Mastodon / Fediverse. ?
It may help bring people over if they could talk to someone and ask questions. It is easy enough to put a widget on a website and then publish a link, (we can do this with my blog as I have a widget on there),
Is there a free software equivalent of say meet up, ?
@zleap @torresjrjr most IRC networks and channels have rules against marketing and spamming, so be careful with this. You might try becoming a regular at one of the big channels on Freenode before trying this.
@Demosthenes @torresjrjr I am on freenode, but I surely q/a is not marketing, there is a #libreoffice channel for support / questions.
We are not selling anything, if on IRC it woudl actually promote freenode, but I do see your point.
I started using freenode back in er mid 90s :)
@zleap @torresjrjr ah I misinterpreted. That makes sense!
