Welcome
Let's talk about the fediverse.
The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.
Each fediverse instance is managed by a human admin. You can find fediverse instances dedicated to art, music, technology, culture, or politics.
Join the growing community and experience the web as it was meant to be.
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”.

I think it validates the platform for normies.
I don't think people who are using Threads are or will be aware of Lemmy, Kbin, or future services that are Reddit-like with or without federation.
Lemmy federation with Mastodon and similar services is clunky at best. Kbin having the best cross service type handling as it focused on exactly that is indicative of how poor the federation of cross service communication is overall.
I think adding Threads to this mix is not going to be pleasant for users of either service or adnins of Lemmy instances.
I just mean it validates that the fediverse is important and not some random scam. It's both good and bad. But mostly good.
