The basics of the Fediverse. Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Reddit, ... vs the Fediverse. What do you think?

like I said, hashtags are fun, but the fact that even if you follow the hashtag it only shows posts that were already federated into your instance confuses people
communities/groups will federate the posts for you if you follow, but following a hashtag does not give any federation
Well we would miss lot interesting topics from Mastodon. You may not see the point because english user base is big.
Most of our user base stayed on Reddit or use Mastodon. Art ? Mastodon. News ? Mastodon...
So how can we solve that ? On çastodon, i found lot user posting interesting links. Our left french media are also on mastodon.
I went on mastodon, created an account, copy-pasta posted news on various communities, I used hashtag and some users commented on jlai.lu
It does works but we need to allow the users the freedom to be followed or not. If they want to be followed, they can follow mastodon users. And that would be the first step to break "locked" software as reddit.
We are more open then Reddit but, for me, i think we are replicating proprietary software organisation. We are still creating clone of twitter, reddit whereas we use a protocole that allow us to achieve much more thing.
Should we try something else where lines between various software is blurred ?

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.

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.
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.

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

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 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 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
