I’ve been explaining it as countries/international travel. Lemmy is a country, Mastodon is a country, you can travel freely between them but you need a passport. Each service has it’s own government whose rules you have to abide. Lemmy instances are like states (or provinces or what have you), where you can just… freely travel between them. Each instance has it’s own local government whose rules you have to abide. Communities are like cities/towns, with their own small local government whose rules you have to abide… etc, etc.

Fediverse clone of iFunny when?

It does not surprise me in the least to find out this meme has been done before, but I actually made this lol. I wish I had seen it on the Fediverse Twitter clone, then I would’ve screenshotted the “Tweet” and posted the screenshot and we really WOULD be kinda full circle there.

Or the shareholders consider every potential ¢ left on the table (no matter why) the same as losing that money, no matter how much money they’re already making. Que that song from The Greatest Showman:

🎶 All the shine of a thousand spotlights 🎵 All the stars we steal from the nightsky 🎶 Will never be enough 🎵 Never be enough 🎶 Towers of gold are still too little 🎵 These hands could hold the world but it’ll 🎶 Never be enough 🎵 Never be enough

Let’s be real, it’s not even that the changes will lose corporations money, it’s that the changes will lower their disgustingly bloated earnings by a marginal amount that makes them panic.

First, I love your username.

Second, both of those sound intriguing. I’ll be signing up for PixelFed for sure.

Just gotta figure out how best to direct people with the federation and server load issues before then. Should be fun!

EDIT: To clarify, this is not sarcasm. I’m genuinely excited to be a part of this!

The ability to interact across platforms is pretty incredible. I’ve been looking into other fediverse platforms since my introduction to Lemmy – thank you Reddit! 🥰

KBin looks interesting. I’m familiar with Mastodon, but before looking into Lemmy I never really understood what it meant that it was “federated”. Tell me more about Friendica, please? If you don’t mind, that is.

I definitely have been! I’m mostly active in !wow@lemmy.ml and !pokemon@lemmy.ml right now, trying to branch out and do more across the website Fediverse. :)

Isn’t it wonderful?

Personally, so far I adore it. It doesn’t scratch that… Endless content consumption itch that Reddit did. There are a lot less users, so there’s a lot less “fresh” content piling up on my home feed for me to scroll through and huff air out my nose at.

It’s been a bit of an adjustment, but now that I’m more used to it it’s definitely a welcome change. I find myself actively engaging more instead of just scrolling by, contributing instead of lurking.

Welcome to Lemmy!

There are a lot less people on here, but I feel a lot more keyed in and engaged with the communities I am a part of on here. It’s nice!
