"Lemmy and Kbin also represent a different way of interacting with the fediverse. Microblogging on Mastodon, photo sharing on Pixelfed and tracking books on Bookwyrm are all centred around people. You follow individuals you find interesting, and read the content they share. The threadiverse instead is framed around topics and communities...Overall, the sudden and rapid rise of Lemmy and Kbin is changing the structure and culture of the fediverse."
@tchambers How is discovery supposed to work in the Fediverse, so that I can connect with other people who share my interests who may not be on my initial Mastodon server?
@tchambers What is the takeaway here though? That forums work?
I'm not dissing anything here as I'm very glad #kbin and #lemmy exist and that they federate with the rest of the #fediverse. I actively use #kbin every day.
I can't understand why anyone would find it noteworthy that forums also work when federated.
@CynAq I took at as: forums have been around for a while on the Fedi but in a far, far lower key. After the #RedditMigration 2.7 million active users of these now exist. And it is a somewhat new "culture" and structure of users on the Fedi than the past predominant ones who focuesd around text, photo and video microblogging.
