Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

so....wait. is mastodon also lemmy? I’m real fuckin confused here.
Mastodon is its own thing. It's a microblogging platform like Twitter. Lemmy is an aggregator and discussion platform like Reddit. Kbin is a mix of both.
But they all can talk with each other as they're using a set of communication protocols that everyone understands, called ActivityPub. This protocol is the foundation that made the fediverse possible. It means content can be spread across many servers, and interactions can happen the same way.
no, mastodon and calckey are open twitter alternatives, just like lemmy and kbin are open reddit alternatives.
however, all of them run on the activitypub protocol, so they interoperate with each other.
