What is this thing and who is supposed to care? It looks sort of like Mastodon: is it related?
It is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)
The message conveyed is that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed
Tildes is many years old, founded by a former mod who did a lot of good work to clean up and grow /r/games like 12 years ago and eventually got hired by reddit, then left to start tildes.
Indeed, but it still seems very quiet
It's another reddit alternative.
