Just thought I'd note this. Main beneficiary so far seems to be piefed.ca.

thx, this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago.

Welcome! Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions!

It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.

you right. reddit is just a good, easy to use forum, but this piefed here, too. That is what I like about it.

the great part about all this is you still being able to interact with people on mastodon. killer feature

[–] sloelk@piefed.social 4 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

sounds great, but how do I interact with them? can I choose another server to login from here?

You can tag a mastodon user in a Lemmy/Piefed-post.

The caveat being that their server has to be connected to your server.

You can't choose another server to log in. Think about it as email - if you are using Gmail, you can't log in to your email using Hotmail. You can write emails to users with Hotmail, but the login only works for your own email provider.

@sloelk @big_slap Just for demonstration, I've copied the URL of this post into Mastodon and can instantly interact with it. Hi from Mastodon!
