Good morning Fedi friends!

ICYMI yesterday I created a "stock" photo for flagship Fediverse apps* - so that writers could use it to illustrate articles about the #Fediverse.

(*Lemmy is a shortcut to the Lemmy.world website.)

I applied the KISS principle (Keep It Simple) because mainstream media does such a terrible job covering the Fediverse. I didn't want to add extra complexity.

For ease of use / maximum exposure I created an account on #Unsplash for it: unsplash.com/@elenarossini

And the photo is now on the #Wikipedia page for the #Fediverse! 🥳

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

How did this happen?

Encouraged by @nacly I created a Wikimedia account and uploaded the photo here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil

And @nclm was super kind to add it to the Fediverse page (English and French). I can't thank you enough!!! ❤️

Pen

@_elena @nclm Glad to see @nclm beat me to it! 😆 I just added a caption translation and extra info to the "Structured data" tab of the photo so it can be (hopefully) more discoverable:

BTW @_elena if you want, you could include links to your Fediverse profiles, website, etc. to your Wikimedia account page!

Really happy to see the and Wikimedia-verse coming together. 😅
