Sir, ma'am, I have no idea what I'm doing. Everything was fine and now both reddit and twitter are dead and I'm just trying to keep up with cat pics. Don't really care to learn about the intricacies of whatever a federated social media is.
Señor @yolo4jesus420swag@lemmy.world, welcome to the federated space. You can find a popular selection of our finest cat pics right here in: ilegallysmolcats@lemmy.world Enjoy the decentralized environment!
Exactly this. I went on to Lemmy because it was recommended as a Reddit alternative. I needed to pick a server so went for the one that looked like it had the most activity (world in this case) signed up and started looking for communities I liked.
I feel like people are making it more of a big deal than it is? Or maybe I’m missing something I don’t know.
But the many apps that have followed from the death of Reddit 3P’s is crazy. I’ve got 3 installed so far and I’m quite enjoying testing them all.
