where can I get started learning more about this fediverse?
- SturgeonsLaw 3y agoFor the most early-Reddit-like experience, I would recommend Lemmy. I was kinda interested in checking it out for a while but suffered from a bit of choice paralysis not knowing where to start, but since most of them are federated, you see content from a bunch of instances at once, so that removes a bit of the risk. I ended up creating an account on lemmy.world which is (afaik) the largest instance by user count. Beehaw is (afaik) the second largest, and it has more of a "safety"/highly moderated approach - which is one of the reasons I wanted to distance myself from Reddit, so I crossed that one off my list. This map was posted on HN if you want to examine the relative sizes of the instances and see the lay of the land: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ https://lemmymap.feddit.de/
- Eavolution 3y agoPersonally I prefer using kbin, that's another option. Kbin and lemmy both can communicate so it doesn't matter which you use. feddit.de and kbin.social are kbin instances.
- twic 3y agoGreat map! Sadly retarded.dev seems to be down, and there's no way i'm visiting cybercrime.zip at work.
- newoldhead 3y agogo to instances.social, pick a relatively small one and sign up for an account. now you're on mastodon and have a fediverse account. this account can interact with everything fediverse, from mastodon to pleroma to pixelfed to peertube. decentralized to the max. (don't join mastodon.social)
- red-iron-pine 3y agolemmy.world browse around, see how you like it
