A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
I think one of the best things about the fediverse is that it allows for a diverse set of paradigms.
A "twitter-like" experience isn't for everyone and it's great to have variety. I have friends who mostly use bookwyrm—a fediverse "goodreads" alternative—and it's awesome that I can still follow and interact with them even though I picked a different fediverse option.
Hell yeah. I love books and I hate everything Amazon touches.
I think I am just so lazy about creating and managing many accounts, but I owe it to myself to explore all of the experiences.
I think Lemmy has it easier than Mastodon.
The bird app is mostly about following specific individuals, so the masses will go the where said individuals go.
The R app is all about communities and topics, so people will be more inclined to try it out. Personally I couldn't care less about who or how many people use Lemmy, as long as I got my Zelda memes.
Yeah the twitter style of social media has always confused me, I feel like there's much more community and fun here than mastodon but I use both
I have tried to go back to Mastodon, but I have not found an instance that makes me care enough.
I like both. Different fundamental experiences tbh. Apples to oranges
