lol okay here me out, I am enough capable of looking up info on these communities myself through probably one or two web engine searches, but then again we also have to consider that:

  • It is a funny title.
  • I keep forgetting it.

So really though, what I wanted to know was are we able to communicate with people on the *don instances?

    AP is a protocol, not a platform. You’re still using different platforms, I’m on mbin for example, we’re all interconnected through AP. And you can tell somewhat what platforms someone is on based on their domain suffix. Mastodon users are also easy to spot because they include the @ handle by default.

      Yeah, platform was a bad choice of word. But as the content travels through the protocol, it makes no more sense to say that the platform of this post is Lemmy than it does to say that the platform of an email is Gmail, even if it is received by users on other providers.

      The platform in a strict sense is, to a degree, irrelevant. I guess it’s platform agnostic. If we had to name one maybe it’s the fediverse.
