I just created an account on a new Lemmy instance to try out the experience, and I’m actually excited, watching all these people communicate across all the Lemmy instances. It’s just like email, if email servers were self hosted by individuals.
not only that, you might see some people around who aren’t even on Lemmy! Lemmy is on the same network as Mastodon, Calckey, Pixelfed, Peertube, and several other social media platforms, so people can post and reply to Lemmy discussions no matter what they’re using
Yeah this is incredible actually. This technology could become very popular with just a few simple changes to signup flows and user interfaces, and I see what’s needed, but on the other hand, I actually don’t want too many people to join us.
It’s good with a bit of a barrier right now so we don’t have to deal with moderation issues caused by people who just want to cause conflicts.
@smartwater0897@salarua I host a server running pleroma, which is a microblogging fediverse server similar to mastodon, and this thread got boosted by someone I follow and showed up on my instance just now. Posts in the fediverse spread out far from your home server across all kinds of different platforms, and it’s really cool to see in practice. Welcome!
i think you’ll find this page informative: The many branches of the Fediverse
I think it’s just frigging amazing to see this.
