I am new to this whole Fediverse stuff. Trying to privatize my life and break away from big tech.

But I have to ask, why are you guys here and not on Reddirt? Where the population us much larger and its basically the same? It appears a few instances dominate this landscape anyway?

Its not like this is unchecked social media, they still moderate these places right? So what’s the benefit?

    Each server has its own users and communities (but they still all talk and subscribe to each other!)

    Usually I see usernames written in the form @user@lemmy.zip, while communities !InterestingSubject@lemmy.zip
