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?
imagine if someone creates a truly better Reddit alternative than Lemmy and all the others (or maybe just a fork and not truly brand new)
they don’t have to fight against the momentum and start with 0 users and 0 content, they get kickstarted by the content already in the Fediverse, so people will be more willing to jump in
so the best platform actually has the chance to shine instead of dying because no one is using it, but it also doesn’t leave users behind who prefer the other platforms, and the other platforms have a chance to catch up again with all the access to the shared content
