A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Getting started on Fediverse;

I left reddit on june 12th last year in protest of spez's decision to change the reddit api from being free as in free beer to an unbelievably expensive cost. That same day, I joined lemmy on a now abandoned account.

At first, I had a hard time adapting to lemmy's significantly smaller community, but I got used to it and learned to embrace it. However, recently I started missing reddit a lot more, and after some consideration, made an account on the (demonic) website.

But I don't think it felt the same way as before, sure, there was more posts, but they lacked a heart and soul, they were all so generic, as if it lost it's spark.

Has anyone else that's been on there noticed anything similar??

i stuck it out past the protest up until the day the company went public, and I can testify without any doubt that the downward spiral increased dramatically post protest. It got so bad that even though I go back to check my local sub, I haven't once felt tempted to create a new account. I began to dread any actual interaction with other accounts
