As someone on Kbin I often find myself commenting to people looking for certain magazines only to realize after replying they are on an instance of lemmy. But they can still look at the magazines like I can look at there communities. I find all that very fascinating and new.
This is OUR meme now!
Just makes linking a magazine (on lemmy they are called communities) a pain because lemmy uses the !exclamation mark to refer to a magazine while kbin uses @ at sign in the beginning of the fediverse link. But to be honest reddit was kind of confusing to me in the beginning as well.
And me from my own server
Tell me more friend. I had a browse, so you've set up your own instance with only your account on. Then from there, you can essentially manage your own version of lemmy/kbin etc. with your own subscriptions and it'll federate those magazines?
I think this could be the answer for the way I intend to go forward.
You won't see edits though.
Edit: and others won't see yours. This is invisible unless you're on lemmy.ml
@jason123santa @CapnAssHolo and me from a different platform
No, just the way the Fediverse works. :)
...and, to go on a bit of a tangent, how the internet "used to" work. You still see the remnant with E-Mails; they can go between servers. Most other services have become locked and centralized now. There was a short bit of time where MSN, AIM and YIM were practically compatible with one another due to sharing many of the same XMPP protos.
Personally I am happy to see this again, been too long ^^
Can I have your ICQ number?
Heyo!

@CapnAssHolo Mastodon?
I'll add my contribution to this one.
