    That's cool too, but way too much text for it to be quickly consumed on a small display. This is more for the second stage when people are already curious and want to learn more, in my opinion.

    I agree, yours is simpler and to the point. It gets the general idea across quicker. The links for blaze would be follow up things people would look into.

      I am indescribably proud of my instance. No one has searched for that community yet, and I’m not going to force that revolting load into our server. Upsetting that it seems to be an active community, though.

        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.

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

          In thie fesiverse graphic each person has exactly 1 connection to a fediverse thing. But in reality, there can be more. I guess in practice there are often more than one.

            Yeah i do agree but sadjy, there is a reason some of us call it lemmyverse. We can see mastodon's content.

            Since Lemmy doesn't really support hashtag, the core of mastodon discoverability, I think switching to a new software is better.

            PieFed plan to support Mastodon this year. They already do it somewhat : you can follow PieFed user and a.gup.pe work well. You can also follow comment or post by setting up an alert.

            Currently, only mbin can do that.

                  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.

                          Lemmy and mastodon are not really connected, I don't know about the others. I would focus on one protocol (is that the right term here?) and show different instances. I'm not on lemmy to follow mastodon users, it's a very different concept

                                But surely the average Zuckerbook user is not so dumb as to miss what this graphic is describing - a crazy utopia where they could talk to people on TikTok and Xitter as well as Zuckerbook?

                                        Maybe you can show that, we don't alway federate with every instance, with several drawing of this cloud network.

                                        That's also part of our freedom 🙂

                                        Good idea. But I think it's better to explain that later, when people are already curious 🙂
