Finally made an account. Super excited. Reddit immediately started to just feel like it was in a decline, something about logging onto it felt off

Same here, plus them killing our apps? I just couldn't support them after that. I used boost and continuing to use the site after they killed it and basically gave all of us the middle finger felt like some sucker shit.

Thank you for the kind greeting. I really am a refugee in more ways than just leaving Reddit.

I sense a real opportunity for the Fediverse off the back of Reddit and third party apps porting across.

If the UX (user experience) is similar then it'll more than likely pull people across.

So far the communities have been extremely friendly and it is a breath of fresh air

I was told there would be an omelet bar for Reddit refugees.

What's fediverse?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the collection of various softwares/sites/platforms that are all able to interact due to operating on the same underlying technology.

Lemmy is part of the Fediverse. Mastodon is also and users there can follow and post in Lemmy communities despite being a totally different thing. Kbin is another Reddit-like, it and Lemmy coexist pretty seamlessly.

And there are so so many more. Fediverse alternatives to FB, Insta, YT, Linktree, etc etc etc.

You'll also hear "Threadiverse" which is what people have taken to calling that part of the Fediverse that focuses on forum thread type discussions (ie Lemmy and Kbin mainly).

Thanks for the explanation. How connected are the platforms? As a new Lemmy user, if I search for a particular community to join, am I seeing the same content that someone from Mastodon would? Or is it more that Lemmy is capable of reading Mastodon content but we're not sharing the same content by default?

I'm finding it a little hard to find the words to even ask this question haha, I'm still a little confused. This all looks nice so far though!
