(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.

Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well.

I hope someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.

I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work!

(Poster edited; I spotted a duplicated word, mrmanager@lemmy.today noted the lack of whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.)

(Edit 2: Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy blackcoffee@beehaw.org suggested has been added, thanks!)

(Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested! Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small cosmetic changes tomorrow)

(I’ll put out Edit 4 tomorrow, which will include the date the edit was made, will clarify mlem only being available through TestFlight, will mention other Kbin instances, as well as a reminder to confirm emails with any new signup in a timely fashion. Thank you all for the help and tips!)

You could mention that Fedia.io is an alternative to kbin.social, as kbin.social is starting to get overwhelmed.

Is the target group people who know what servers and/or instances are or not?

Otherwise I would go up one layer and put in the comparison more users have made about having an mailadres user1@gmail.com and being able to communicate with accounts who also have user1@yahoo.com etc.

It gives users who are not familiar an idea of the concept.

Great post. Mind if I repost on subreddits that are open during the blackout?

[-] unsunny@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely, that’s what it’s there for!

Fantastic job. I wanted to do something similar this weekend, but life kind of got in the way and I was pretty bummed that I couldn’t get it out the door. It makes me really happy to see that someone had the same thought! There was a big need for something like this.

You’re a bad ass!

Related question for all you experts: if I have an account on both (for example) lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, what is effectively the difference between them if I can view content from any federated instance?

[-] 1993_toyota_camry@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

AFAIK, the difference is mostly in the performance, moderation, and peering of each instance.

Learned lot of things, quite new into the fediverse. Is there an equivalent Community like the r/coolguides, that would be the perfect place

first comment. it took me waaaaaay too long to realize I had to go all the way to the bottom to reply.

Why didn't you mention Jebora or the iOS app? People are into apps, makes things easier and quicker. For example, I never would have transfered to Lemmy if it wasn't for Jebora.

I really like this, nice work 🙂

[-] cfx_4188@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Jerboa has a not very user-friendly interface. Maybe I'm not used to it, but the feed updates jerkily, everything works with a slight lag.

Great post, looks awesome.

[-] rickcooker@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

join the same communities together

Let me make sure I have this right:

  • there are separate Lemmy instances
  • I can chat with other people from other instances (like email)

If I wanted to join the same communities as a friend, do I need to sign up for another instance or do communities 'live' on multiple instances? For instance, a community on 'cats.' If there is one on {instance1} and {instance2}. They aren't the same, right?

@rickcooker@beehaw.org @unsunny@beehaw.org to add onto what was said, the cool thing about the fediverse is that it's all interoperable:
i am currently replying from my own self-hosted [akkoma](https://akkoma.social/] instance. this is more of a twitter-like microblogging software, that i'm running on a server i rent with a few friends. with it, i can't really browse lemmy/kbin communities yet, because akkoma doesn't yet have support for those, but i can reply and read content from users, and i believe even follow communities! and i can also follow video creators on peertube, or on the instagram-like pixelfed, whichever instance they use, because it's all the same protocol, so i don't have to sign up there :)
