Other use cases for the fediverse
(lemmy.world)
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Thanks. I'm quite new to the fediverse, but really love the idea.
@gredo I think I am into a year almost, lol. I was looking for a Facebook alternative so there I am, on Friendica ๐
How did you get your friends over?
@gredo I didn't, yet, haha. I'm still on Facebook, yet once they move to other platforms to chat on there, I will pull the plug.
I had one friend that got to Mastodon, then got bored by it, then there was another one that tried the very server I am on, currently. She didn't seem to stick either.
I try to keep the number of accounts on social networks low tho. I started to be more active on chat apps with friends and the like. Over here I am mostly posting news, pictures and commenting stuff around ๐
Edit: I'm still figuring out how to use this whole thing (the account) tbh. But I enjoy the features of it and try to maximize them to their full potential. For example there's no way you can add a title to your post on Facebook, format your text using BBCodes for instance (whether in posts, comments or on the profile), add inline images and other media (inside the text, like, you write something, add an image, then continue writing below it), follow RSS feeds directly etc.
