Just a heads’ up — the majority of accounts that will see this post aren’t from lemmy.world. For example, I’m from feddit.online. Your posts are federated, which means your instance, lemmy.world, passes your post to our instances, where we see them.

    I just looked up feddit.online, but what is it exactly? Is it a Lemmy instance or more a collection of different instances on one feed? I'm still new to the Fediverse and the whole thing so sorry if I sound ignorant.

    It’s a piefed instance. One of the coolest things about the fediverse is that you can follow from different kinds of platforms, so some folks follow from a mastodon instance, or a sharkey instance, or a pixelfed instance, but they can still participate the same as people on a lemmy instance. Piefed is basically the same ui as you see, with a few minor differences, but some of them get pretty exotic.

    I try to join all of the fediverse services to give em a fair shake. I haven’t tried Helos yet, and I can’t get into the wanderer instance I’m most interested in, but I’ve tried all the big ones: mastodon, loops, pixelfed, bookwyrm, funkwhale, etc. I’m a social media nerd so I like to stay up-to-date on what folks are doing in the space, and the fediverse is the one that most closely aligns with my values.
