  It’s Jack Dorsey’s “Twitter but federated this time”, except there is only 1 instance, run by Jack…. But don’t worry, “Trust me bro” it will totally be federated/open.

  Maybe it will be but until it is it’s just as bad as Twitter.

    So is it going to be part of the fediverse at one point or will it be a separate federation?

      God… I’ve been on the “fediverse” for months and

      A: have no clue what it is

      And

      B: am not even entirely sure I’m on it anymore

      Love Lemmy but lol this is getting confusing, is Mastodon on Lemmy or… just federated or… sheesh I need to search this

        The fediverse is basically anything that uses some means of connecting to other sites. A lot of them now use ActivityPub, a standard for this kind of thing.

        Mastodon isn’t “on” Lemmy, but they can communicate with each other

        It doesn't really matter. If you find value in using it, just keep using it.

      separate federation, they use their own home-grown protocol called ATProto

        Ahh as an alternative to Activity Pub or whatever it’s called? That’s a shame

      That hasn’t been specified, which suggests they’re aiming for the latter.
