I don’t fully understand how lemmy works completely yet. But for example I made an account at Division by zero and subscribe here to post. Is it not just a more inconvenient version of making a reddit account and being able to post practically anywhere?

Also what’s the difference between making an account at one instant and just making one centralized account for the social media?

    @JollyTreecko@lemmy.dbzer0.com I am reading, up voting and commenting on this thread from https://kbin.melroy.org/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/99078/What-are-the-practical-benefits-of-the-fediverse

    The way I quickly explain the Fediverse to technical folks is it is like public email with voting and open trigger tracking baked in. ActivityPub is the SMTP of an ecosystem of multiple domains and clients with varying policies and features.

    What is happening with Threads is very similar to when AOL started making it easier for the people within their walled garden to interact with the rest of the internet.
