@hpod16@eupolicy.social We need more press coverage of the fediverse and stuff like "share on fedi" next to "share on Facebook" and the like. It should be normalized for media and business to be on fedi as well.
So from your standpoint you could fight for public press releases of the EU to include links to official fedi accounts for example.
Thank you for asking!
Thanks for the comment, @der_schrank@biplus.social!
I can tell you there are people working on this.
Mastodon was recently included under the "share more" option, but I'll admit it could be even more prominent. It's a first step, more steps to come.
@hpod16@eupolicy.social Awesome! Should probably move right to the top of the sharing options. 😅
Maybe it would make sense to migrate to using the term "fediverse" as well. Away from the product Mastodon, because there are also other products available and competing with their commercial counterparts like Friendica (alternative to Facebook), Pixelfed (alternative to Instagram) and Loops (alternative to TikTok).
(Not to mention various smaller projects and forks or alternatives to Mastodon as well)
@der_schrank@biplus.social
you may have to explain to me this difference between Mastodon and fediverse. It's one of these things I don't fully understand yet (be kind, I'm new)
@der_schrank@biplus.social @hpod16@eupolicy.social as you're learning about Mastodon and Fediverse, I highly suggest checking out some of the resources that @FediTips@social.growyourown.services has released. They're how I learned most of what I know about fedi.

Best of luck!

Hi Hannah, welcome!
About your question, Mastodon is part of a much larger social network called the Fediverse.
I've done an easy-to-understand guide about this at https://fedi.tips/what-is-mastodon-what-is-the-fediverse/
There are also lots more guides on the front page at https://fedi.tips and feel free to ask if you want help with anything specific. I am trying to provide unofficial tech support on here 🙂
