Mastodon is primarily a microblogging social media platform akin to Twitter. The other two are primarily multi-forum board akin to Reddit.
All three rely on the ActivityPub protocol, so there is some intercommunication between them (esp. between Lemmy and Kbin). That's why they're often referenced in the same breath. That, and most websites operating under these standards are not run for commercial profit.
After spending a few days learning about lemmy and other fediverse websites, I was curious about people's processes for picking a server that is right for them. I've seen most posts say to pick one that is not too big or small and that has similar interests as yourself. But if we are all mostly federated, doesn't it make the...
I can't speak to the newer models (and have heard bad things about the company's customer service lately), but a Rad Power Bike from a few years ago would probably be decent for most uses.

Any preference for stepover frames vs standard? Does bike weight matter (lighter ones tend to be more expensive)? Storage options (apartment or house/garage)?

Do you have any recommendations for an ebike for daily commutes?
I've never had an ebike before and don't really know where I should start. I'm looking for something practical and hopefully not too expensive.

What's your favourite downtown (or near-downtown) coffee shop for just relaxing with a book for an hour or two?
I really like the coffee at Le Monaco near Gastown, but the chairs aren't terribly comfortable. Where's another good go-to spot?
