And when you have commented more on Lemmy than all your years on redit to hope to boost the subs/comms you love. Yes i was a lurker

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess there's more of a chance someone will actually read it when you post here. What's disturbing me is how many of the comments on Reddit were just bots or farmers? I bet... Many

What I love the most about Lemmy is that you can see the downvotes as well!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Not all instances have downvotes, but most do

I've gone from a lurker across all other social media to an active... Fedizen? Fedizen. And I'm loving it™

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It feels great not to just belong to a single site but to a federation of many other sites you can almost seamlessly interact with.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same! I'm posting and commenting more than ever. Gotta add content and spur the discussion!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Realized I can actually choose a username I really like versus the one I made for Reddit when I was on a lunch break.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I am a community!

This is my first post on shitjustworks. Damn this site and fediverse thing is confusing though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (5 children)

A common way I've heard it explained is to think of it like email. Say someone creates a gmail account and their friend creates a hotmail account. The gmail user doesn't need to create a hotmail account to send them a message, they just log into their gmail account and send their message to friend@hotmail and the magic of email takes care of the rest.

The fediverse works similarly. You create an account on one "instance" and can interact with pretty much every other instance. There's some nuance to it since it's more complicated than email, but that's the gist of it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That's a good way of thinking about it.

I've made four so far! Creating them is easy; growing them is the hard part.
