Fediverse Social Media Guide
(lemmy.world)
Yesterday someone asked if one could do something like this, here is my version, in case you missed it !
Here is the list of all the softwares in this picture :
- Friendica
- GNUSocial / Mastodon
- Vernissage
- Wordpress / Writefreely / Pixelfed
- Loops
- Jlai.lu (French lemmy instance) / Lemmy (with the lemmy.world logo because it's more colorful than the plain lemmy logo)
Feel free to share it anywhere you want :)
If you have any idea for other meme of this type for the Fediverse, please send me a DM and I might make a nice graph like this for you !
My understanding is french is the most Germanic of the romance languages, so I'd guess it came to them both from an older Germanic language
I don't think so. French "tiens" is a form of the verb "tenir" ("hold"). German "tja" is pronounced almost exactly the same and is only used as an interjection with a similar meaning but doesn't have any related forms that I could think of.
Especially the southern German dialects have quite a few words that originated as loan words from French so it's at least plausible. Could of course just be a coincidence as well. Languages are full of those.
Yeah. Definitely might be a false cognate (if even that). Always look up etymologies if they interest you! Because so many that people repeat aren't true. I was just speculating and hoped that was obvious, but maybe it wasn't to everyone.
