- dom96 3y agoMastodon is more of a Twitter replacement, no?
- jarfil 3y agoIndeed. It can however interact with Lemmy and kbin, which are direct Reddit replacements.
- tomstockmail 3y agoAll three use federated groups: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/groups-implementation/591 https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/groups-implementation/... There are groups on Mastodon that you can join and follow.
- jpcfl 3y agoI'm not overly familiar with Mastodon (hence the typo in my comment), but my understanding is that it's a place to browse, share, and discuss content. The UI does appear to be more like Twitter.

- floren 3y ago> If there was ever a time to promote Mastadon, it's now. make sure you spell it correctly if you do, though
- chimeracoder 3y ago> If there was ever a time to promote Mastadon, it's now. Neither Mastodon nor ActivityPup are a real replacement for the use case of Reddit. They serve very different purposes.
- jpcfl 3y agoI think both support the use cases of browsing, sharing, and discussing content pretty well. They just have different ways of categorizing and moderating content.
- treyd 3y agoWhy do you think ActivityPub can't be used to implement a reddit clone? There's already 2 projects doing it reasonably successfully.
- irrational 3y agoAnd the Slashdot migration before that. I we really compare what happened to Slashdot and then what happened to Digg, the parallels to what is happening to Reddit are obvious. I assume the result will be the same.
