It will federate with other AP platforms.

If I am being honest, Mbin/Kbin’s concept is much better than Lemmy. I like how you can microblog and just use it like a normal forum, which means you can interact with even more people since microblogs (from Mastodon, for example) don’t really federate with Lemmy. I’d like to use Mbin, but there is no real useful android app for it yet (yes I know Interstellar exists, but it isn’t very featureful yet).

pop the champagne 🍾

we are celebrating tonight

2025 the year of lemmy

Welcome! How are you liking Lemmy so far?

The repo is just full of configuration files and no actual working code. The backend code does not exist. The guy in mastodon thinks that dan forgot to upload his code to the github repo.

No. It has nothing to do with the software. Your instance is the problem. I guess this is your chance to switch to another instance.

So XMPP?

Whatever your goal is, there most likely is no such instance that satisfies your definition of “freedom of speech”. You should run your own instance where you have full control. Since most instances wouldn’t federate with such an instance, a relatively cheap VPS will do. Even some old computer you may have lying around.

Mastodon*

I tried using yunohost and some others but they all sucked. I went with just using the bare podman cli

I agree. Revolt is a good alternative to Discord. Matrix does not feel the same as Discord, but just a WhatsApp alternative that is decentralized and federated.

No, doesn’t seem so.

LW’s user base accounts for about 36.4% (as of writing this) of all Lemmy users (spread across approximately 570 instances according to FediDB), which is too large.

You will occassionally see some people from other platforms, like mastodon, commenting or posting here. But Lemmy isn’t the most compatible one, so you probably won’t see microblogs and such. If you want to see microblogs as well, use mbin (kbin fork). It is a mix of Lemmy and Mastodon. You can micro blog and comment on magazines (communities in the mbin/kbin platform) that way.

I especially am thinking of self hosting mbin because I do want to see some microblogs from some users.

Also I welcome you to Lemmy and the Fediverse. Good thing you didn’t choose lemmy.world or lemmy.ml

Also das werde ich ganz sicher m_f sagen.

Yeah. We do have PeerTube Live, but it’s not official and integrated into the PeerTube app itself. It also can’t stream the screen of the phone, so there’s that.

yeah, that does resemble facebook alot. without the bloat, that is.
