Good old Kuketz-Blog, now also in English.

Usually solid advice, you can take everything they write without a pinch of salt.

I'm new to the Fediverse and am astonished when I see Facebook icon or direct mention but I usually see alternatives for Reddit/Discord/Twitter more mentioned, has anyone here used Facebook? Mastodon doesn't have events calendar nor communities or "pages"/alternative profiles to use for branding without needing separate account unless I haven't explored it enough then I'm sorry

That might be because Mastodon is not intended to have that role as a "Facebook alternative"? It's more of a Twitter alternative IIRC. For calendar, vents and stuff like that there's Friendica, although no idea if there is such thing as alternate profiles.

someone else just mentioned to me in another community about Friendica as well and it does have something similar to "pages" and many of these things I mention, thanks!
