I’m starting a Lemmy group to collect mainstream press coverage of the Fediverse, ActivityPub and the like. When you see an article on a news site or such, consider submitting it there?
The idea is to “crowdsource” a repository of what the world says about us in mainstream outlets that have a significant audience.
@J12t @fediversenews
is it possible to follow that Lemny group from Mastodon?
@supergrobi @J12t @fediversenews Yep. Just search for @fediverse_press and click follow.
@pimeys @fediverse_press @J12t @fediversenews great, thanks!
@J12t @fediversenews Why not personal blogs? Ironically personal blogs are the very type of content I would be looking for rather than main stream media coverage
@weirdwriter @J12t @fediversenews
ActivityPub does have a blog system. Its very plan though. This is out of date but should give you an idea of just how big ActivityPub is
@weirdwriter I'm not attempting to make a statement about whether blogs or mainstream press are more credible / useful / ... on this subject. It's just that I'm interested what the mainstream press writes, and I figure maybe others are, too, that's all.
@J12t Would you happen to know of a similar community that is a repository for everything? Independent blogs as well as media coverage? On Kbin or Lemmy?
@weirdwriter @J12t @fediversenews Observing what is being published by the main stream media is an important thing for monitoring mass adoption.
@caiocgo @J12t @fediversenews Yeah, but If it wasn’t for independent media, those audiences would’ve never heard about this place or otherwise so by excluding independent media and independent coverage, your ironically preventing mass adoption in a way because the reporting for people that could find use in the technology but nobody has reported to their case needs yet. If it was a repository for everything involving the Fedi, including independent media along side news media coverage, I could recommend it easier as a one-stop resource for a lot more people. I think that mass adoption is talking to the people that might not even appear in the main stream in the first place
@J12t@social.coop @fediversenews@venera.social I'll keep an eye out and join when it populates on kbin!
@J12t
On a more practical note, is it meant for English articles only, or for more / all languages?
@fediversenews
@schmidt_fu @fediversenews I left the language tag unspecified on the Fediverse Press Lemmy group ... I think we solve that problem if nobody can read more than 10% of the posted articles. In the meantime, the more languages, the merrier!
@AlexGizis it’s recursive all the way down.

If anyone needs a pleasant icon to represent Fediverse in news or on their website (and who doesn't, seriously), find the fediverse icon here.
https://git.disroot.org/fediOrigami/fediOrigami
It was developed by designers collaborating on fediverse for two years.
