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.

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.

SocialMedia is part of your daily diet - so why not make it healthy?

Corporate platforms feed you ads, algorithms, and infinite scroll designed to keep you hooked on junk food. The #Fediverse is different:

✅ No ads, no algorithms ✅ Real communities run by real people ✅ Diverse cultures and positive content

Stop feeding on junk. Switch to something organic!

While this isn’t specific to the Fediverse, our privacy & security features are something that differentiates us compared to corporate owned social media.

Once it’s implemented in Mastodon, it should make it easier to request the same feature from the Lemmy devs.

This is the most common reply to any mention of onboarding newcomers, but it’s not helpful. It’d be much more productive to hear specific criticisms so we can address them.

  • Is clicking the big “Join” (the default server) on joinmastodon.org really that big of a hurdle?
  • Is a firehouse home feed required to engage users from the start?

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.

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.

What’s better than pie?

Being part of the #OpenSocialWeb where billionaires can’t manipulate us with algorithms and we don’t need blocklists to keep the losers away.

Post What You Love (mastodon.world)

Post what you love. The #Fediverse is here - open, ad-free, and built for real people.

[-] Fediverse_Champion@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Absolutely agree. Saying we don’t have the user base or growth of commercial sites is a straw man argument. That’s not the goal. Building solid communities of real people is.

[-] Fediverse_Champion@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

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!

Mastodon and the fediverse are not perfect, but we do value privacy and provide better moderation overall.

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

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

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.
