A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

@fediverse The point is that, given the current characteristics and limitations of the Fediverse at large, how should we recommend software to people interred in joining?
Should we aim to have them use only one software/instance given their interests? i.e. I'm interested in having the most similar experience to Instagram, so I should use ONLY Pixelfed? But what if, like me, I want to have an official presence online and still want to interact with other communities online that are thread-based?

>recommend software to people interested in joining?
What would be more useful is a _reliable_, _independent_ reviewer of currently available software that works within the Fediverse to point people to Something that compares and contrast the different solutions. eg: Voyager v Mastedon v Thorium v Pixelfed.

@root_beer @fediverse I understand the point, but what if there are different needs and use cases? Like a network of schools in a specific region that want to coordinate, interact and share events among them?
@RookieNerd @fediverse @SamXavia
The specific use case is why I think a reliable, independent review of each is useful.
What differentiates these Lemmy clients:
* #Muffed;
* #Voyager;
* #Eternity;
* #Lemmy Redirect;
* #Jerboa;
* #Thunder;
* #Combustable;
* #Liftoff;
* #Lemmur;
There are almost as many clients for each of #Pixelfeed, #Mastedon, #PeerTube, and the rest of the #Fediverse, for a single platform.
Switch platforms, and discover a plethora of other clients.
