The servers (instances) aspect and different communities (forums on topics) on different servers and servers blocking others, is a mess if I’m being honest. It’s the biggest flaw. I still find it hard to find communities of topics I want…

I’ll be honest I revanced the RIF app so i can still use it like I always have for the time being until it breaks. I don’t notice much difference, but since using Lemmy it’s really made me notice how crap Reddit had actually become. I genuinely check Lemmy more and post more here. It’s more engaging and so far the people are nice. I’m still new here tho and still finding my feet on navigation etc but it’s making a lot more sense now!

I probably will still check Reddit on RIF whilst it still works as I do like the niche subs and they are still active for me. I did initially try the official Reddit app and jesus what a mess that is, I will not use it once RIF permanently breaks. So I’m still there but more lurking than posting.

Newbie here and apologies if these are FAQs but just want one line answers

What’s an instance?

What’s a community?

What are federations?

Whats the difference between all these?

What’s mastodon?

What’s Kbin?

What’s ActivityPub?

Just jargon I’m trying to get my head around, I’m still confused on signing up to different communities?! I guess and yeah… a bit lost I suppose. If there are FAQs to all this please direct me to them, thanks!

Still getting my head around it. Hoping more interesting content comes about and we can put the memes/discussion of Reddit to bed!
