So far on Lemmy, whenever I see someone comment this, it's because they're mad Reddit got "toxic towards my free speech to stupid ass MAGA nonsense". Is that what you mean by Reddit being "toxified"?

I dunno about the code. But, they're definitely pushing their agenda here on Lemmy.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the only true negative aspect of Lemmy that I've noticed since I joined.

Everything here is pretty good. The users are mostly cool. Content is not high in quantity, yet, but it's decent quality.

Lemmy has one real, true problem, tankies. They're dishonest, they manipulate content, they brigade posts, they're a cancer. They have no home in legitimate link aggregation.

If it is true that they "built" Lemmy, it was only to get away from everyone who shunned them and forced them to find a safe place. And now they're mad that people who aren't deranged lunatics arrived in their safe place.

Okay. Finally, after a month here, I'll bite.

Who said it was built by tankies? I'm not saying it wasn't. But, afaik, ActivityPub was developed by W3C.

Are they tankies? They don't strike me as tankies, but I've been wrong before. People keep saying the Fediverse was built by tankies, and I guess I'm missing some history, because as far as I can tell, there may have been some tankies, but it doesn't seem built by tankies.

Even now, Lemmygrad is small. They're annoying as fuck. And they're pervasive on Lemmy. But, it's not like there's a lot of them.

So, if anyone feels like bringing me up to speed on the history of the Fediverse, I'm extremely eager to learn.

Was Lemmy just a MAGA and Lemmygrad shit show before the Reddit people got here?

So, if I understand... You're upset people are talking about climate change?

What's the harm? Have a go at it. Make a video.

Is there a guide or tutorial or just someone with spare time who can explain how and why it works that way?

Could you elaborate? This might be the closest I've been yet to understanding.

I keep seeing this explanation, and, thank you. But, I still don't get it. I understand the basics, which is what I find everywhere.

What I'm not sure of is HOW to use it. It's actually kinda driving me crazy because I'm actually putting forth some effort here, but still, no dice.

Can someone smarter than me please explain how the posts cross over from Mastodon to Lemmy?

I've really been trying to figure it out, but I'm coming up blank every time.

This is a good explanation I think. Unfortunately, it seems to be exactly the way I understood it before I asked.

It still doesn't quite make sense.

How do I find other @peertube platforms? Is there a directory? When I try to sub to a channel, I'm prompted to download a messaging app?

It just isn't intuitive. I'm a pretty tech savvy fella. I've now watched 3 videos on the topic, read the welcome guides, visited all the profiles looking for answers. But... I come up blank.

If anyone actually knows how video within the Fediverse works, please share..

I've been trying to figure out and I'm struggling.

There's @peertube, @owncast, @tilvids

But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how it works
