Lemmy is a link aggregator as opposed to a microblogging service.

Rest assured we will be creating content on Lemmy vs Reddit.

Very good points! Ultimately, we’ve got to rid ourselves of corporate social media.

BTW, if you haven’t seen the EFF article on the Fediverse it makes similar arguments.

Lastly, it’s incumbent on all of us to evangelize the fediverse whenever and wherever we can. Most people aren’t aware of the open social web and its myriad benefits.

Yeah, that’s on me.

Normally I’d post the image and copy over the post body, however, this account is too new to upload images, so I’ve been linking directly to mastodon.

Seconded, some specific examples would be helpful.

Correct.

Here’s a thread about who owns and funds Bluesky.

This is the way. We can all do our part to build and evangelize the fediverse.

And don’t say things like it’s too complicated or nobody will listen to us. That’s objectively not true.

There are 20 million fediverse users. Stay positive and keep moving forward!

Thanks for the feedback on categories.

As for discoverability, posting frequently to your local community can help you reach a wider audience. Additionally, using relevant hashtags can significantly boost your content’s visibility, as many people use them to find new content.

Open AI changed to a for profit company in a heartbeat and these folks can too.

More worrying is who owns them and their funding sources.

This is exactly what we need to get the masses off corporate social media sites.

An app that shows content from across social services has more appeal than being on just bluesky or insta.

It’s a term for insiders. My mother will never talk about “the fediverse.”

The “Open Social Web” is a much better term. It tells you everything you need to know.
