For years, the internet has been shrinking. Not in size, not in data, but in ownership. A vast, decentralized network of personal blogs, forums, and independent communities has been corralled into a handful of paved prison yards controlled by a few massive corporations. Every post, every “friend,” every creative work—

      It would help to change the nomenclature. Joining a Facebook “group” makes sense to anybody. Change insider jargon like “instance” to seeker-friendly verbiage like “village.”

        I like that, or something like that. “Server” and “instance” definitely sounds too prickly and technical to a lot of people.

      “Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, you can visit https://phtn.app/ to have a look at the content. If you prefer an app, https://vger.app/settings/install has download links.”

          We could maybe ask lemm.ee admins to enable automatic email verification, but then they would need to fight the unavoidable spam bots registration waves

          Lemmy can be as simple if not simpler than that:

          1. “Hey, Lemmy is a bit like Reddit, have a look at <link to your instance>”
            • they can have a browse, no download required
          2. If they want to join, enter email, username, and password
          3. Verification email
