That’s a really strange “or.” .world has only existed for about a year, since the big reddit exodus, and it’s just an instance, running Lemmy software on a server. The Lemmy software was first released five years ago, but that wasn’t the beginning of the fediverse. Like all fediverse apps, Lemmy makes use of the Activity Pub protocol, which came out like a year earlier.

right. I've been running infosec.exchange for going on 8 years, and the fediverse was already around for a while before that. It seems unlikely that lemmy admins, in particular, would want to do an AMA on reddit for the very reason that causes them to run a lemmy instance in the first place. but, you never know, I guess

Yeah, seems like a bad idea all the way around. Not sure Reddit would want it either.
