📄️ Signin up for an account
Welcome to EducationPub\! This guide will walk you through the simple steps to create an account and start your journey on a decentralized learning platform.
📄️ Setting up your profile

📄️ Posting to your profile
Sharing content is at the heart of EducationPub\! Whether you're an educator sharing a lesson or a learner tracking your progress, your profile is where your contributions shine. This guide will show you how to create and share different types of educational resources.
📄️ Using the network features
EducationPub isn't just about creating and learning—it's also about connecting\! As part of the Fediverse, your EducationPub platform can communicate with other EducationPub instances and even other types of Fediverse platforms (like Mastodon or Pixelfed). This means you can build a network of learners, educators, and content that extends far beyond a single website.
📄️ Dealing with unwanted content
While EducationPub aims to be a positive and collaborative space for learning, you might occasionally encounter content or interactions that are unwelcome or violate community guidelines. Understanding how moderation works on the Fediverse, and the tools you have at your disposal, is key to a comfortable experience.
📄️ Promoting yourself and others
EducationPub is a collaborative network, and a big part of that is sharing valuable content and helping others discover great resources. Whether you're an educator showcasing your lessons or a learner highlighting useful materials, promoting content is easy and helps the entire community thrive.
📄️ Set your preferences
Customizing your preferences allows you to tailor your EducationPub experience to your needs and how you like to learn and interact. Taking a few moments to adjust these settings can significantly improve your daily use of the platform.

📄️ Using EducationPub externally
EducationPub is designed to be an open and interconnected platform. This means you're not limited to just sharing content within your EducationPub instance; you can also easily share and even embed your educational resources on other websites, blogs, or platforms\!
📄️ Running your own server
EducationPub is open-source, which means anyone can set up and run their own version of the platform. This is often called running your own "instance" or "server." While many people will join an existing EducationPub platform, some might consider running their own. This document explains what that means from a non-technical point of view and highlights the benefits and drawbacks.
