We're excited to share the results from Mastodon's first #DiscoveryWeek!
In case you missed it, earlier this year our Head of Design @imanijoy@mastodon.social arranged a week of workshops and surveys to get to know you, learn about your needs and wants, and discover how you're using (and want to use) Mastodon.
This week was tremendously helpful for us, and we're grateful to everyone who participated.
Here's what we learned:

🏄♀️ Surf Tip: When you add a Community Hashtag in your Feed Settings, "Join Community" will appear on your feed. When members use your hashtag, their posts will be included. It’s a great way to find and engage with people who love the things you do, whether that's photography, food, or "Taskmaster."

Why do we want to grow the open social web, and for whom? @ben@werd.social says the value is in protocols that allow people — all people around the world — to build and own communities that address their needs. "The only way to achieve that is to not just co-design with them but distribute equity. They must be full co-owners of the open social web," he writes.
