Fedi.TipsIf you're lonely or isolated or finding the Christmas period difficult for any reason, you might want to follow the hashtag #JoinIn
This tag is intended for people to start friendly chats about everyday stuff they're doing like making food, going for walks, listening to music etc.
It's fine to reply to posts with the JoinIn tag as the person who made the post is actively seeking conversation π

Have you already thought about basing your mastodon instance on glitch-doc extension? You often reach 500+ characters in your great posts. How nice would it be not to have this broken down messages in threads.
Megan Lynch (she/her)@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Thanks for keeping it alive.
I think it's important to acknowledge that it was started by comedian Sarah Millican, who started it on Twitter back in the day (I think she did eventually step back from it in 2023).

Fedi.TipsEDIT: It seems the tag is working fine but the FediGroup is not, so I've removed the group from the original post.
The #JoinIn tag works fine so please use that!
(I've messaged the FediGroup admin to ask what's happening, will let you know if there's more info or if the group is fixed.)

οΈ@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @Badgardener@mountains.social @joinin@fedigroups.social I spend Christmas alone just about every year these days and I don't mind it at all. It's just another day.
One year I did start following the #joinin tag. Unfortunately, I had to stop following it because it was dragging me down with depressing posts and even some pleas for financial assistance.
Yes, I'll get into a conversation with you and maybe we can even build a friendship, but I won't do it if you're dripping with self pity. I'm not a shrink. π€·πΌββοΈ

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @joinin@fedigroups.social for whatever reason, the group is blocking me (???)
I can use @JoinIn@ovo.st though, so I shall :P
Alecia Batson (she/her)@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @joinin@fedigroups.social is the account active? The most recent toot appears to be a year old.

I think people are using the hashtag #joinin more than the group.

This.

I've messaged the fedigroups admin to ask about the group's status. Sometimes FediGroup profiles appear to be empty even when they are active because their founder chose the private option.
About the hashtag vs group, you can use both. They aren't competitors, they are just two ways of reaching people which can be used simultaneously. They federate in different ways which is why it's useful to use both.
