Actual photo of me trying to explain the fediverse to myself
Is your social media app making TOO MUCH noise all the time?
If someone doesnt spin up a http://pepesilv.ia instance of Lemmy I will be sorely disappointed.
Lots of smaller social media sites that all work together as one large one?
I still don’t get it. What’s the point of instances and why are things “federated”. I use mastodon and lemmy - how does “federation” between them changes anything?
The dream is ultimately to be able to interact with Mastodon content from Lemmy and vice versa. Right now Mastodon users can see Lemmy content but that’s about it
For me, when I learned the basics of the Fediverse it is not that complicated to navigate through. And I happened to learn a lot here.
Wanna explain it better than I’ve been doin then? Please.
