If you go to lemmy.ml it's just a bunch of fucking redditors with their dogshit memes and like three lemme users. It's sad. I strongly encourage users of this site who are so inclined to take a break from infighting to bully neoliberals over there.

You know how you can text your friends a cool link and be like, “check this shit out”? Lemmy has a protocol for different websites to do that with each other automatically. Instead of a person-to-person communication, the communication becomes server-to-server. And what that looks like in effects is that you and I could be having this conversation from separate websites in the future; websites with different focuses or countries or rules. The governance can get complicated, as can the specifics of the protocols used, but the basic effect is that people from different websites can talk to each other, and the websites don’t even have to match. One could be Mastodon (Fediverse Twitter), one could be Peertube (Fediverse YouTube), and one could be Lemmy (Fediverse Reddit). But a peertube video would show up on Lemmy as a post and commenting on it on the Lemmy site would also create a video comment on the Peertube site.
