Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?
Yes.
-Instagram has pixelfed. -Reddit has lemmy -X has Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma (&forks..) -Tiktok has loops (app still super rough around the edges and sadly on limited to one instance rather than having its own software from what i understand) -Youtube has peertube (so far the least used i think)
I dont understand how to join or post on peertube, its the most confusing, do you host your own, is there a feed of all the servers?
You just pick an instance and join it, sadly i don't think it has enough federation yet so its entirely possible u just chose a bad instance and have amazing creators sitting on other instances yours isn't federated with
If you f up and join lemmy.dbzero you wont see any posts from lemmyworld users and the same issue if you join the other
Incorrect, I'm on dbzer0 and see all of LW just fine
That's actually not true. Lemmy.world and lemmy.dbzer0.com are fully federated, you can see for yourself if you check the instances tab.
The only thing that people incessantly complain about is that lemmy.world blocked one single community from dbzer0, the piracy community. For an account on lemmy.dbzer0, that has absolutely no effect. For an account on lemmy.world, that just means they need an alt if they want to participate in that one community. They two userbases can still fully interact all over lemmy, it's just that lemmy.world decided to block the piracy community to cover their asses legally.
Look, here's https://lemmy.world/c/adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com
But people make such a big deal about that one blocked community that a lot of people get the idea that they are defederated or something. You're not the first person I've had to correct about this, not even the first this week lol.
Does this help?
