    You’re technically correct, but go to any of the various “This is the Fediverse”, “Join Fediverse” and the like, and many, many times you won’t even see them acknowledge the existence of Lemmy, happened to me when i decided to jump in last month. Compare amounts of people, Mastodon instances can number in the thousands while the best you get here is dozens, maybe low hundreds. Lemmy is tiny, and it’s focus on communities isolates it further from the rest of the Fediverse, the federation doesn’t help in the slightest, open Lemmy and all you see is the same dozen posts for days, you don’t see on Lemmy posts from the rest of Fediverse because they just don’t apply. This is fine, lemme emphasize, but it’s early stages and it’s undeniable.

        sure seems to integrate better with the rest of group platforms on the 'verse, including Friendica Forums, Gup.pe groups, and Lemmy Communities, in addition to their own version of subreddits, that they call magazines for some reason.

      Plus maybe it’s just me but when I open lemmy, I don’t want to see the rest of the fediverse. Lemmy serves a very different purpose from mastodon or plemora.

      It’s one thing I never understood about the fediverse. These platforms are separate on the normal web for a reason.

        @morrowind Yep. I really like the fact that even though the fediverse can interact with lemmy content, the default view within lemmy is still only groups content and not the whole fediverse
