Is there any particular reason for this?
I‘m coming from an promotion in r/buyfromEU
Welcome!
thx, this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago.
Welcome! Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions!
It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.
you right. reddit is just a good, easy to use forum, but this piefed here, too. That is what I like about it.
the great part about all this is you still being able to interact with people on mastodon. killer feature
sounds great, but how do I interact with them? can I choose another server to login from here?
You can tag a mastodon user in a Lemmy/Piefed-post.
The caveat being that their server has to be connected to your server.
You can't choose another server to log in. Think about it as email - if you are using Gmail, you can't log in to your email using Hotmail. You can write emails to users with Hotmail, but the login only works for your own email provider.
Some promotional posts were made on Reddit in the right comms, although none of them specifically exploded - albeit one was made also in r/buyCanadian and it seemed to surge.
Reddit also upped the enshittification but i cant remember why.
I saw it in a post about people getting temp bans for simply stating that EU allies would be right to defend Greenland in case of military action. Might just have been one of several grievances with Reddit at the moment though
Ipo
One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.
That's actually also the reason I am here, lol. Reddit feed. has gone down the drain, although I don't get Ice ads. I ain't American.
A few posts on subreddits, see !fedigrow@lemmy.zip and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
The 3 posts I made on reddit promoting the Fediverse and PieFed got over 300,000 views together.
More people getting involved in fedigrow could see much higher numbers, but let's not spam.
As a small comment, !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com is supposed to be the community for promotion outside of the Fediverse, so Reddit and others.
!fedigrow@lemmy.zip is dedicated about community growing.
Maybe the names are confusing and we should switch community growing to a new !communitygrow@piefed.zip or something
Welcome new users!!
Greetings to South Africa
We've even been seeing the growth here on MULTIVERSE
Here from Reddit.
It's about time to move over.
That graph looks nice. There's also new instances popping up. Looks like healthy organic growth.
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, Mbin, etc).
