Mastering Mastodon – an onboarding webinar to digipres.club

Check your local time for the event here.

Want to join the digital preservation community on Mastodon? We’re here to help you find your way through the Fediverse, and particularly on digipres.club, where lots of digital preservation friends are already connecting.

Together with the moderators of digipres.club, we are hosting a webinar on Thursday 24 October 2 PM (UTC) where we will introduce you to Mastodon, show you how to set up an account, how to find old friends and connect with new digipres folks. There will also be opportunity for Q&A. At the end of this webinar, you´ll have all the information to get started on Mastodon.

We look forward to seeing you there! In the meantime, you can read more about digipres.club in our blog https://www.dpconline.org/blog/join-the-dp-community-on-mastodon.
