It’s a term for insiders. My mother will never talk about “the fediverse.”

The “Open Social Web” is a much better term. It tells you everything you need to know.

This is exactly what we need to get the masses off corporate social media sites.

An app that shows content from across social services has more appeal than being on just bluesky or insta.

It’s only in the nightly builds, so unless you’re on mastodon.social or a server with the latest build you won’t see it yet.

As for what exactly shows when it’s live, someone posted it was in their notifications.

Once it’s implemented in Mastodon, it should make it easier to request the same feature from the Lemmy devs.

Yeah, that’s on me.

Normally I’d post the image and copy over the post body, however, this account is too new to upload images, so I’ve been linking directly to mastodon.

Absolutely agree. Saying we don’t have the user base or growth of commercial sites is a straw man argument. That’s not the goal. Building solid communities of real people is.

This is the way. We can all do our part to build and evangelize the fediverse.

And don’t say things like it’s too complicated or nobody will listen to us. That’s objectively not true.

There are 20 million fediverse users. Stay positive and keep moving forward!

Lemmy is a link aggregator as opposed to a microblogging service.

Rest assured we will be creating content on Lemmy vs Reddit.

Thanks for the feedback on categories.

As for discoverability, posting frequently to your local community can help you reach a wider audience. Additionally, using relevant hashtags can significantly boost your content’s visibility, as many people use them to find new content.

Seconded, some specific examples would be helpful.
