Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.
But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.
Give me that hopium guys! 💉
Still not sure I get how this all works. I am using the Memmy app. Created a login with lemmy.world. How do I see threadiverse? Can I do it from Memmy? I tried to search threadiverse on Memmy but there’s nothing there. Am I doomed to never fully comprehend this?
The threadiverse is just the name given to all of the Lemmy and Kbin instances as a whole.
The fediverse includes all services that implement the ActivityPub protocol, which includes the reddit-like “threadiverse” but also Twitter-like services (like Mastodon), Instagram-like Pixelfed, and others.
I’m with ya man! I am a member of 4 servers but I am not really understanding the difference between them so stick to lemmy.world mostly.
I’ve only got one account on kbin, but I can see communities from a ton of different places and users from everywhere. For example, I’m browsing this from kbin.socal but it’s on lemmy.world.
I’m on Kbin as well. I just don’t overthink it too much, but the idea is that you can interact with all the different places whether it be Lemmy or otherwise. Either way, you can comment and interact and post everywhere so if it works it’s good. And so far it seems to.
I think beehaw is defederated from Lemmy but I don’t know if that means it’s defederated from Kbin. I can see their things fine.
You’re on it bro, I’m on kbin browsing this post. We can all see and talk to each other.
Honestly people talk too much about the fediverse and federation to newbies and it creates this false barrier to entry. Here’s this person, commenting on a post not knowing shit about how it works or where it’s from. You don’t really need to know about all of that stuff to get going. Just go to any of the instances and get browsing.
Yeah people tend to spew information because they’re excited about the fediverse but it’s really not complicated to actually use.
