Lemmy appears to be very similiar to Mastodon, with decentralised servers to prevent musky spezulence.

Just a bit confused as i’ve tried Mastodon using the Tusky app and it felt like twitter but decentralised, whilst Lemmy feels like reddit but decentralised but language such as fediverse is shared.

    Think of them like email servers. There are many, they all can talk to each other, and the tech is not new.

      I hate this comparison. I’ve seen it so many times in the last four years or so, but I feel like it always adds more confusion. I don’t think most people know how email servers work. I run a server and have messed with Postfix, and I don’t have a good grasp on it myself. I’m not sure how to improve it but there has to be something better than that.
