    I am a RiF defector and I have to admit that Lemmy is looking pretty promising! Screw the corporate scumbags!

    Gotta admit, the Fediverse is looking pretty sweet. A surprise, to be sure! But a welcome one.

      Mastodon really helped get people acquainted with the Fediverse after the whole Twitter shitshow. My sincere hope is that the Fediverse continues to take off. Corporate-owned social media is failing at every turn.

        My biggest lack of understanding is still regarding access: So, if I choose to access the Fediverse via Mastodon, can I still subscribe to Kbin and Lemmy “subs”?

        I love the federated nature of all of this, I just wish it was slightly easier to put into a metaphor. I’ve seen some graphic charts that try, but it’s still a bit confusing. I’m on KBin and I like it a lot, but I have no way of knowing if I’m missing a ton of content or not!

          I agree it’s a bit confusing. I think app developers are really working to try and give people an easier onboarding experience. But I’m old enough to remember when people thought Twitter and Reddit were “way too complicated” for the average person. With technology, people seem to learn over time, and devs find ways to make things easier for average users.

          Lemmy is only threaded content so no mastadin. Kbin however has threads posts but also microblogging. So kbin can interact with lemmy and Mastadon.

    I was active on Reddit for well over a decade. Even helped mod a couple of small communities at various points. I also loved Apollo and was an early beta tester for that app. For me, Apollo was Reddit. It was the only Reddit client I used in recent years and I miss Apollo as much as I miss Reddit itself.

    I don’t see myself going back to Reddit. Lemmy has been great and has quickly become very “Reddit-like” for me, but with the vibe of what the internet was back in the early 2000s. I am enjoying the communities that are forming on her.

    I’m also very fond of the concept of the Fediverse as a whole. Corporate social media has failed again and again, so I want to move away from it as much as possible.

      I have an 11 year Reddit account, and recently got banned for posting about how Nazi’s shouldn’t be around anymore.

      Reddit has been slowly turning to shit, and Spez befriending Musk is a pretty big indicator that its going to keep going that way.

    Still trying to figure this out. Need a decent Apollo style app to fully move in. I’m so done with Reddit. I already nuked the content they let me and deleted a few accounts. Definitely phasing out.
