A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy) (www.reddit.com)

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

I still prefer the email analogy with explaining how it works. The WoW analogy is for the people who say "That's too complicated for the unwashed masses to understand." People have been signing up for World of Warcraft going on three decades now, I think they'll figure out lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works.
