What do you think about this graphic?

It should give an easy overview of the architecture of the Fediverse and what it differentiates from old social media.

    I just got here but I’ve noticed this platform is much nicer compared to things like reddit. No bots, no ai softcore porn ads. I’ll take the fediverse any day.

        Some people in a left leaning subreddit told me it would be a good backup. Then just yesterday I got perma banned and the admins wouldn’t tell me why. So now I’m here

    It’s actually a good graphic. I’d put a legend explaining some of the fediverse icons. And 2 sentences explaining that each fediverse icon communicated with other fediverse icons

    Maybe remove the fediverse in the middle, if I knew nothing about the fediverse it will seem like it is centralized?

    This doesn’t explain things well. Lemmy is like a bunch of Reddits communicating with each other. The graphic makes it seem like there is just one Lemmy. Also, are Lemmy posts on Mastodon? Mastodon was largely empty last I checked.

    Edit: I just now noticed the second Lemmy

      Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities I think, but it doesn’t really work very well. The Mastodon feed isn’t really made to support threaded content so all the Lemmy comments will fill and mess up your feed.

        I think the ATProtocol is better when it comes to connecting between different social media types. But I think ActivityPub makes better use of different servers.

        Though I think something like Lemmy is difficult for both because of how different it is from most other social media types.

    I’d say these fall into the same trap that most fediverse explainers fall into — too focused on implementation details, not the experience. The average FB user thinks they’re connecting to friends directly, not really considering the system architecture that powers it.

    I’d like a graphic that shows how centralised media blocks connections to others outside thier walled garden.

      Interesting. How would you put this into a picture?

      My friend (the average social media user) also didn’t seem too interested in it. I can imagine something interesting for the average user in a video but not in an image.

        Largely similar to what you have, but abstracting away the metalware and reframing as human-centric.

        If the user is at the center, surrounded by more users, making primary & secondary connections, in an approximate circle shape. You can then show traditional social media owners as wedges of that circle, containing (owning) a fraction of the users & preventing connection to others, vs. Fedi that lets you connect to everyone.

        I would add random instance names to the service icons, to show them that the websites are interconnected and not just the services

    Needs more chains and walls between groups in the top picture. And maybe some ransom notes.

    (This is more to try to make you laugh, than useful feedback, sorry. I don’t have a very good idea how to actually include these concepts in a simple diagram.)

    Out of curiosity, has anyone found any more conservative Lemmy communities? I’m always worried that we’ll get folks splitting off of rumble to find purchase here. So far, all of the c/conservative communities have been deliciously consumed by memes, but more is more funni
