I have a Mastadon, AND a Kbin now. I’m trying to sign up for different Federated services and link 'em all together. I’m loving this new protocol so much. It’s quiet…
It feels similar to the early 2000’s internet and I’m loving it.
I think it’s the fact that it isn’t mainstream is what makes it tolerable. Once you get everyone on a platform it turns into garbage. Just dumb people amplifying other dumb people.
So I’m interested to see how federation plays out long term. I don’t think the majority of reddit will come here for awhile so at the least I’m enjoying it while I can.
My only problem is how degeneration is handled.
For example, last night I submitted a post to memmy@lemmy.ml. My wife then wanted to comment on the post.
She has a Beehaw.org account and I have a lemmy.world account. She couldn’t see my post because beehaw defederated from lemmy.world.
@Ghostalmedia Yeah I imagine that’s going to make things a little more complicated and political so to speak. Things will become a bit messy for a bit I imagine until some kinks are worked out. That said I still love the idea of federated social media.
Hell yeah, great to have you here.
@Rentlar Thank you so much! I’m hype to experience this new space!

You can’t really “link accounts”.
I have a couple alts that look exactly the same, and have a link their bios to my main account.
But they aren’t linked in any real way. And you really only need the one account per service, if even that.
Anyway, welcome to the fediverse!
