@Compgeek thank you for the reply! This is really interesting to hear what specific moments in time cause such drastic change in our ability to reach different communities.
I think federation is the future of user-created content sharing, it just was always a bit ‘early’ for me when replacing existing social media and not having my existing networks there. I think the Reddit/Lemmy mindset being around connection over interests instead of with specific people reduces that friction and the technology is mature enough for prime time (scaling issues aside).
It’s an exciting time for the internet!
I am really impressed with how quickly it feels like people are getting the hang of this part of the fediverse!
