It always seem like that. I used to think like that too, 15 years ago

Eh, scratch that, I still think like that.

I started to think it’s because of the result from years of a lot of people being trained and marinated by big tech in siloed opaque social media and website sign ups, where everything is it’s own thing with almost no interconnectedness and communication between each other. So it seems hard when they (me too admittedly) see all this instance thing and federated that.

Also IMO fediverse has a too nerdy and being infodumped on image to me. That image, at least on the threadiverse side, seems to be toned down and normie-d with recent “campaigns” on reddit though.

You guys really do need to not be too nerdy lol.

Can only speak for myself, but anything the instance admin deems related. Or voted / suggested by their members.

sure, I’ll try to keep an eye out for problems.

hmm, is it possible that maybe both of those mbin instances blocks imgur? I have accounts on both but I’m using fedia as my main

if this keeps up I might just abandon mbin and go with Lemmy while waiting for piefed lol…

annoying that they get preachy about it

And for another, at any time users can view Categories of Communities, such as all things Fediverse, News & Politics, or Gaming, and now users can even create our own customized Feeds

I like the sound of this. Pardon the comparison, but it’s like multisubreddit. That’s one of the big things from reddit I miss. Making my own categorised feed.

I use Private Internet Access (PIA) and that has port forwarding. I read something about it on reddit but forgot about it, so idk of there’s anything bad it controversial surrounding PIA.

I appreciate knowing both. I have a Lemmy instance account too.

@[email protected] thank you for your answer.

Thanks for shedding light on that feature on fedia. Yeah, I kind of did not find a need to do this. The question just crossed my mind yesterday and somehow I thought I need to know.

using it now. but I have to say the Lemmy apps are just much note enticing, NGL.

I’ve seen the moist cat mbin instance being promoted a few times in RedditAlternative before I move here, actually. it’s one of my considerations jumping instances actually.
