Really has felt like the thrediverse has been quite active lately. During the exodus we had a lot of posting about... the exodus. But now we have a lot of posting about actual topics and what feels like a pretty healthy community building save for a few instances that will probably get defederated before too long.
Fediverse
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
- What is the fediverse?
- Fediverse Platforms
- How to run your own community
Same I find the engagement is raising. The threads here are more sincere. Sure it's not as active when it comes to some things but that's fine IMHO. Building an online community right takes time.
I also feel that people here are much nicer, and willing to engage with content. Even tiny communities usually make pretty great posts.
Yes, absolutely.
And you know what?
I love it, just the feeling of actually engaging of people. Something I didn't have on Reddit. I think it really opens my eyes on how much our attention gets commercialised.
I greatly appreciate the lack of reddit meta getting repeated adnauseum. 69 and 420 references really stop being funny when repeated in so many threads.
Since this coincides with when I made my new account I will choose to believe it is solely thanks to me.
I also just joined in the past month. You're welcome
I did because I was on a different Fediverse link-aggregating forum that was pretty quiet and getting quieter, and all the communities and threads I saw over there came from this instance. It just made sense to join directly so I could post and get proper notifications.
The supernova from Rexxit sent a lot of small pieces flying out everywhere, but things will start to aggregate back down to a few winners over time. I went to Squabbles, Kbin.social, and then Discuit... but now I'm just here and Discuit. I like Discuit's look and feel and users, but it's not super active.
