Obligatory Mastodon mention.
Better than going with another for profit, VC funded, corpo.
Mastodon is great if your interests are Linux and FOSS.
I'm having a great time finding musicians as well
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave.
All jokes aside you're 100% right
True. And it can be great if those aren't your interests, too.
It's great for tabletop games if you join the tabletop gaming instance.
Or if you flood it with tabletop gaming fans.
You can join any instance and follow all the TTG people.
Of course. But if you care about one topic or community over all others, you should join the site that is focused on that topic. The Local timeline is the heart of the platform, and "it doesn't matter where your account lives" ia how the fediverse dies.
If you want to follow topics, that's what Lemmy is built for.
Mastodon is designed around following individuals, rather than topics.
No, Lemmy is for if you want to run a user-led forum-like website where users create and maintain discussion groups for you.
Mastodon is what you use when you want a small microblogging website.
The optimal way to use either platform is to build social websites that are focused on some commonality among users, may that be interest based, region based, identity based, or whatever kind of community you want to foster.
Lemmy allows you that community to create self-moderated subspaces to discuss topics through the community's lens. Mastodon allows that community to engage in slow-rolling threaded chats among members.
Federation allows those users to also reach out to and engage with other communities that are not your home base, whether in a microblog format, or in a compartmentalized form.
The current usage model is a simulacrum of closed, corporate, centralized platforms, and it's not working. Lemmy is full of people who who't stop whining about how thet can't homogenize and blend communities from different servers. Early on, many people wanted this merging to be automatic, as if c/News on lemmy.ca and c/News on ttrpg.network are just splintered shadows of r/News or something. Mastodon is a revolving door of people who can't find people discussing their topics of interest and then bouncing.
Local matters. The fediverse is a local-first space. Ignoring that keeps all of it an also-ran.
How does that make sense, when the foundational feature that seperates the Fediverse from everything else, is it's seamless integration with other sites and instances that arent local.
Do you concider email to be local first?
There's a tabletop gaming mastodon instance?
dice.camp
What is a tabletop game?
A common type of game you play at a table.
Or anything else
Especially when you have a group that would be ideal for a tabletop gaming server where you could participate locally instead of having to find each other all the time - and it’d be a lot easier to find and vet other community members going forward.
