This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.
@astroturds @samus12345 not necessarily. Some people may be stuck because they don’t have software for anything else.
True, true.
@samus12345 hold up, are you using something else? I’m on mastodon.
Yup, I’m on Lemmy.
@samus12345 holy crap, and I can still answer this?
Yup, all part of the Fediverse! Cool, huh?
@samus12345 extremely. Is there a client I can use to partake in this insane level of fun?
I signed up with lemmy.world via the website. I don’t know a lot more about how it works!
Lemmy, Mastodon, and most all of the Fediverse use a protocol called ActivityPub, and this is why they are interoperable. It’s a really cool technology!
I’ve been using an app on Android called Jerboa. Really happy with it so far.
I am confused by this. You mean I can tag myself on Mastodon, like this @cgervasi@fosstodon.org, and that account will see it?
So tagging my Mastodon handle did not work. Is @evilcookies98@dragonscave.space reading these messages on Mastodon? I know the Fediverse is related, but I didn’t think you could talk between apps. How do I tag users here?
Something to ask in a forum dedicated to Fediverse help! I’m still a noob myself.
