The average person doesn't understand decentralizing networks.
Yeah, especially all the Reddit expats. Myself included. Took me a while to understand what federated meant and how it worked.
But also what redditors want from Lemmy vs what Lemmy is are somewhat two different things.
Would you mind doing a quick "ELI5"?
I'm probably not the right person to explain it as I still only have a rudimentary understand of it.
Thanks anyway. I'll read up!
@embrcrndm @altima_neo I'll just say this: I'm currently sending this from Mastodon. Your instance and my instance both use the ActivityPub protocol which is likened to email by many people.
Whoa shit, that's awesome!!
@embrcrndm No kidding :)
Welcome to the #fediverse!
I’m in the same boat. I feel like I get what Lemmy is really all about now, but I also feel like I still have no idea what all of it really is.
Is fun though
The average tech idealist underestimates network effects and natural centralization. Any goal beyond a single entity having over half the traffic is probably too ambitious.
