I think one of the biggest barriers of the fediverse is decision paralysis.

So stop looking around! Go to https://lemmy.world/ and join :)

If you want to expend extra time, there are more servers and you can join a different one, if you are undecisive join the one above :)

It's the same as with Lemmy, you join a server and you see practically all of them.

Nice! I'll put this on the background while working :)

I remember in reddit following nextfuckinglevel to simply be a bit more up to date with people commenting on this types of things and after that I started to enjoy reddit less, this type of communities make reddit similar to other social media like Instagram and I don't enjoy seeing extreme things all the time or people just trying to get the attention. I stop following the community after a while and the experience got better for me.

I don't see much difference between reddit and lemmy besides lemmy being in the fediverse thus it's a plus on my book. But you decide what communities you follow, if you are not enjoying it stop following what makes you not enjoy the platform, this is not tiktok where they put videos on your face, you choose what type of content you want to see. Follow things you want to follow and not things you should follow.

Why people say seperate instances amplify echo chambers? I can follow any community I want, it might be true that similar people go to similar instances but then you can see the others without noticing what instance they belong. In lemmy you follow communities and not people so I feel this happens even less since everyone comments on any community.

And as a site note I think the internet showed that putting everyone in once place is not always healthy for everyone.

The internet should respect different cultures and not try to homogenize everything.

Hahah no prob!

Oh really? Like they will send an attack or something? Sounds cool!

They are waiting a bit more to see if some fix arrives or not:

we're currently planning for late January/early February to update Lemmy.World to a newer Lemmy release.

A bit more detail:

We'll keep an eye on any updates on that topic to see if it might be worth waiting a little longer for another fix or possibly deploying an additional patch even if it may not be part of an official Lemmy release yet at the time.

The blog states it's still missing a lot of stuff and it's a work in progress. If they have to implement every type of fediverse post like peertube, Pixelfed. Loops, etc it's gonna take some effort.

I assume that's the goal after reading the post but of course we will see.

Why are you specifically collecting negative reviews?

There's people who want to follow other people because you can follow specific associations, independent journalists, etc. If you are like that Mastodon will help with that but if you prefer broader topics no matter the source you have Lemmy. This are two distinct social media which belong to two distinct groups as other mentioned like microblogging and a more standard forum.

I prefer Lemmy because I like to follow topics and I get more involved in the discussions but sometimes I want to check on someone and the best way is to go to a Mastodon like platform.

I mean you don't need to use each social media every day, some will fit more your personality and you will use that more but that doesn't mean you can't open the other one from time to time.

I read the article but I'm worried about the implementation which you won't be able to choose and while you can change server realistically not many people will even know this happened.

I hope the focus is privacy and people and this change dowsn't have people in mind.
