Signs of the #RedditMigration in action: Three of the top 6 #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers.

That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength.

@blake @m_artigiani @fediversereport @fediverseobserver You just tag the name of the group/magazine/community that you want to post on in the post from Mastodon. Really easy.

@Zach777 @m_artigiani @fediversereport @fediverseobserver That works? I thought that's how you'd do it but I didn't know it worked, partially because the formatting is a bit different (don't they expect a title _and_ a body?)

[-] Zach777@fosstodon.org 0 points 1 year ago

@blake I have posted to Lemmy from this account before.

Basically the title would be the paragraph above the paragraphs on the bottom. Everything below the top paragraph gets put into the body of the post.

@Zach777 @blake forgive my ignorance as I was never on reddit (but now I'm confused). Is the difference in the type of service that on these kbin and lemmy, the conversations are subject based and generate a long thread? Whereas on Mastodon it's more a timeline of unrelated messages? Thank you

@gpollara On reddit/kbin threads all the submissions are separate per topic (subreddit on reddit, or magazine here on kbin). Inside of those subreddits/magazines people post relevant content to the topic, like a singular topic/question/thing they wanna share. people then respond to it. Imagine you have a single hashtag for a top-level toot/tweet and you post a singular topic/idea/question related to that. people then can see it in that topic and response.

With mastodon it's as you said, where things are based more on the individual (you follow someone and see their stuff or you don't, and everything's separate). Basically: lemmy/kbin stuff is categorized by topic, mastodon stuff is categorized by person.
