This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

      Yup, all part of the Fediverse! Cool, huh?

          I’ve been using an app on Android called Jerboa. Really happy with it so far.

          I signed up with lemmy.world via the website. I don’t know a lot more about how it works!

            Lemmy, Mastodon, and most all of the Fediverse use a protocol called ActivityPub, and this is why they are interoperable. It’s a really cool technology!

        So tagging my Mastodon handle did not work. Is @[email protected] reading these messages on Mastodon? I know the Fediverse is related, but I didn’t think you could talk between apps. How do I tag users here?

          Something to ask in a forum dedicated to Fediverse help! I’m still a noob myself.

        I am confused by this. You mean I can tag myself on Mastodon, like this @[email protected], and that account will see it?
