It's feels weird when I open my browser nowadays and #reddit isn't in my starting tab group.

It is really weird, reddit
_was_ my go-to website and now...
What are you doing instead?
@svanelten I'm on #beehaw, which is a #Lemmy instance. It's been a very pleasant experience so far.

@TheLastOfHisName @svanelten

Are you going to update your #linktree with your #beehaw or is it too early?

Perhaps you're new to the service in general, your first impression was a good one but you'll give it a bit more time before you decide to spend more time?

Is Beehaw the only #Lemmy #instance that you've tried so far?

I'm looking for some good new places, but at the same time i have to figure out how everything works together here in the fediverse

part 1/2

Many liken how the #fediverse work to #emails.

We all got emails but imagine if our email providers each had their own #SocialNetwork? All those emails are then our addresses so others can mention us in this network.

Then a #technology called #ActivityPub connects all these "emails" together so that we all can speak to each other if we want to.

Some "emails" look differently, ie. one might look like #Twitter (#Mastodon) and one might look like #Instagram (#PixelFed)...

...but even as they look differently they are still all connected with the "ActivityPub glue" so you can still talk to anyone you want to.
