Contributors wanted for Mastodon & freifunk.net

Dear Freifunk community,

we’d like to broaden our public relations efforts a bit and are looking for support with that.

Specifically, this involves two areas:

:elephant: Mastodon (social.freifunk.net)

For our Mastodon account, we’d like to have a small team that:

  • boosts interesting posts from the communities (especially announcements)
  • promotes articles published on freifunk.net
  • shares smaller news items or tips that don’t warrant their own article.

So it’s less about „constant social media fire“ and more about curating, making things visible, and networking.

:writing_hand: Articles on freifunk.net

On the freifunk.net homepage, the latest article is prominently displayed. It would be great to have about 3–6 posts per year, for example:

  • Reports from communities
  • Announcements (events, releases, initiatives)
  • Explanations or background pieces
  • Retrospectives or outlooks

This doesn’t have to be handled by a single person — quite the opposite: we’d love it if several people occasionally contributed something.

If you can imagine helping out here — regularly or now and then — feel free to reach out to me via DM or email.

Even if you just have questions at first or aren’t sure whether this is „your thing“: just write to me!

Best regards

Andi

I could offer to first clean up Freifunk.net by removing all the local communities that no longer exist and just leave people hanging. Of course, contacting them beforehand and all that.
