For all things Futurama

Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!

Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.

No worries at all! Gotta get you settled in somehow ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm not sure what you know about Mastodon but it's a microblogging thing (think Twitter).

So, Mastodon users can search for Lemmy communities, which appear to them just like a regular Mastodon user account. They can post to the community by tagging that account. If they follow the community they'll then see new posts and comments show up in their feed like regular "toots" (tweets). As you can imagine if they follow a busy community that gets spammy fast, but it does work.

From the Lemmy side, we can't follow Mastodon accounts yet afaik. But we can reply to posts and comments coming from Mastodon users, which from our side are formatted just like regular posts and comments in our communities.

Hmm I better add something Futurama-ey so I don't get in trouble.

...Sexlexia!

Amazing thanks! I had made the assumption that everything in the Fediverse is just a fork of Reddit style platforms or something, all competing yet somehow connected, but I guess they can all offer significantly different experiences (I must have glossed over your reference to FB, insta etc).

So, if I want, I'm about to discover alternatives to not just Reddit but a bunch of platforms?

Hot diggity daffodil!
