For all those who have contact with the Fediverse for the first time. A beautiful and light description of what the Fediverse is or wants to be. Take a look. We are facebook, twitter, instagram, rabbit and whatever they are all called, united in one network. We can talk to each other, no matter which project you use.

    This is what I think will get people to actually start migrating over to these platforms. You can enjoy the type of platform you like but consume the content of all of them.

    Please also remember: each person who can and wants to, should open their own instance. The Fediverse lives from the many servers that are connected to each other. All servers are equal to all others. There is no hierarchy or main instance.

    The genius of Fediverse. I don’t even have a #lemmy or #kbin account. I use #Friendica, which has groups of its own. And I can subscribe to Lemmy or Kbin groups and communicate with them.
    The Fediverse is big and powerful.

      @feb (While I generally agree…: We still should be very cautious suggesting that, unless we know things don’t just wor a bit but actually work _well_. Currently, federation and communication across different pieces of software all too often feels fragile and incomplete especially whenever moving deeper into the specialties and unique features of a particular platform that might be poorly or totally unsupported on others. At the moment, I’m running into this virtually every other day even between “older” and somewhat similar platforms like pixelfed and Mastodon. Not even sure about how lemmy or kbin fits into this picture. And every user disappointed by how things work is a likely candidate for the next surveillance capitalist / walled garden monopoly to harvest and build upon.😶)
