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!
Amazing thanks! I had made the assumption that everything in the Fediverse is just a fork of Reddit style platforms or something, all competing yet somehow connected, but I guess they can all offer significantly different experiences (I must have glossed over your reference to FB, insta etc).
So, if I want, I’m about to discover alternatives to not just Reddit but a bunch of platforms?
Hot diggity daffodil!
