HOPING TO EXPLAIN BETTER:

Sorry. Perhaps the thoughts were not clear, but have watched a lot of videos and even Wikipedia makes it seem like they are all social networks and that one can follow / post / reply on the other networks:

It isn’t about following everything and everyone, but about not wanting to have a Pixelfed account to follow a photographer, or not needing a Lemmy account to follow interesting topics, or not needing a Mastodon account to follow a blogger / writer. It is perhaps then a bit oversimplified on the “intro to the fediverse” videos / posts that’s been seen on the web. Was hoping to have one single account on any of the above, and then just interact from there, and not needing an account for every single one of them.

Prove it wrong: the fediverse is not as connected as we're told, and it's splintering even more now.

Prove it wrong: the fediverse is not as connected as we’re told, and it’s splintering even more now. This is what makes the Fediverse so frustrating, been using: #Kbin #FireFish #Mastodon #Friendica #IceShrimp #Lemmy. And no, they don’t speak to one another / find one another or are able to follow / like / reply to one another as one is told the Fediverse works. The truth: some speak to some, and it rarely works both ways. Eg. Mastodon can do a lot more interacting with Lemmy, but not the other way around. And then there are those that defederate from their own kind / federated social network, splintering the Fediverse even further apart. Have had to either join new servers + delete current accounts, just because the server that was suggested, happened to be a server that others chose to defederate with. Now with many accounts + many instances, been trying to find the best place to just have one space in the Fediverse + be able to communicate, follow and interact with other Fediverse users. Maybe it’s this is wrong, but this has been the experience for almost a year now.

Thanks everyone, the name literally sounds like a support community, really stupid naming convention then. Can’t be the first person that thinks it’s a support site?

Will delete it now. Thanks again.

Autobot keeps deleting posts asking for help with Lemmy???????

Autobot keeps deleting posts asking for help with Lemmy??????? - Lemmy.World

Once again, and second time this week, a post question asking was deleted by the autobot on here. You can’t even see it when they give a link to the post. And no way to ask why or get some reply or help? And both times it was for just asking a question on the topic of Lemmy, right here in a community that is called “AskLemmy.” So it is possible that nobody might even get to view this post. No idea why they remove these posts. It’s just questions about Lemmy?
