I just realized I don't have many discussion communities on my feed. My feed is filled with all news articles and I rarely find any posts written by people to discuss stuff. The communities where they discuss normal life stuff or anything in particular, majorly with texts, is what I want, idk what you actually call them.

Thanks.

    I'm still trying to understand the difference between Lemmy and PieFed, but they seem to be fully interoperable...?

    Yes.

    The Threadiverse has multiple intercompatible "Reddit-alike" software packages.

    There's also Sublinks, written in Java, but I don't know for sure whether that's going to actually get the ball rolling. https://demo.sublinks.org/ Think they need more developers contributing.

    EDIT: Note that while this approach is unusual for the centralized Web-oriented social media era, where typically one company controls the whole shebang and has one codebase, it is common for federated systems. There are many different NNTP server implementations for Usenet, many different XMPP server implementations for instant messaging, many different IRC server implementations for chat, many different SMTP server implementations for email, many different FidoNet implementations.

    Is there a difference between Fediverse and Threadiverse ? Or is just terminology so people understand the link to Meta's Theads?

    I'm rather fond of !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world . You need not be a man, and you post about the dull goings on of your personal life (e.g. "made a ham sandwich today," or "fixed my washing machine over the weekend")

    !general@lemmy.world is General discussion

    !politicaldiscussiin@lemmy.world is Political discussion

    !chat@beehaw.org (not accessible from lemmy.world)

    !chat@lemmy.one (inactive, server shut down)

    !canada@lemmy.ca is a mix of news articles, discussion and anything Canadian that doesn't really fit well anywhere else.

    !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world is also pretty good.

    movies, entertainment, without getting potentially sanctioned or astroturfed like you on reddit for discussing the same things, especially people are so fixated on the actors that they would defend them even if became they became POS. TIL, and sometimes news.
