I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

      In a way, it’s a good sign. The threadiverse is tight-knit and comprehensive enough to become people’s primary social site. I’ve never seen any other reddit alternative get to this point.

        It became my primary. Had never heard/understood federated-internet anything before lemmy. And it’s been a really good time here

        Reddit is now just a Quora for me, when I’m using a search engine. I don’t scroll Instagram, but just look at what (3) people send me. Facebook is for rare use-cases, so I haven’t deleted my account. YouTube I watch, rarely scroll, and don’t interact. And I think that’s about it currently

        Lemmy has it’s own issues/flavor for sure… but I dig it. I learned my first forum basics from Something Awful, and there’s a certain vibe here that reminds me of that. The fediverse (threadiverse? I haven’t heard that term) feels like an internet community center or something

          threadiverse is for threaded apps like lemmy and kbin, as in practice they’re mainly a seperate network from things like mastodon.
