I’m here because it’s eventually going to be the better alternative.
FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

You are in your house, I am in mine. But we can still watch movies together through your window.
What I am not understanding is the concept of logging in another server. I created an account on feddit.it, can I use this account to login in a mastodon website? Or does it work the other way around, with me just using the feddit.it website (like I’m doing right now) to consume content from other instances? With the second option, if feddit.it goes down, my account is done, right?
You do everything from your home server.
So you’re at feddit.it, instead of going to https:/lemmy.world/c/lemmy.world you go to https://feddit.it/c/lemmy.world@lemmy.world
I don’t know how posting between mastodon and lemmy works.
And yes, if your instance dies, your account is gone. Mastodon has a “transfer account to another instance” feature, but Lemmy does not yet, but I’m pretty sure redundancy in some form is planned.
