I love how interconnected the whole Fediverse is. Spread the word and make Europe use Mastodon and Lemmy!

Yes! It's a great thing! The next thing we should aim is to pass laws forcing Government instances (Germany and Netherlands already have) so politicians and institutions use those for their public/social media profiles and abandon X/Twitter/Threads and anything that isn't decentralized. The mention of Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed in the media (when eg. journalists quote a politician) would attract more users to these platforms. I believe this is truly necessary if we want to keep democracy healthy and have our socials out of the control of crazy billionaires.
- I've always felt that the Fediverse was perfect for governments and businesses since it disconnects them from a third party allowing them to manage their own distribution of information.
  
  Using Twitter and so on for official government channels was a short sighted decision.
- Exactly!

Explain Fediverse for me, I'm new! Pls and thnx
- Different websites running the same program that work with each other. Lemmy is the program running on lemmy.world, where you and I both have accounts. There are other Lemmy servers that lemmy.world is compatible with. In the comments of this post you can see some user names that end with other sites in this format: name@other.lemmysite, they have accounts on different websites that also run Lemmy.
  There are other programs that work this way too, like Mastodon and Pixelfed. All these websites running all these programs are "the fediverse"

I'd love for more people to join but even if not there's no going back for me 😅
- Good!

@vesi@lemm.ee I agree, mentioning a lemmy group on a mastodon/pixelfed post also helps it get a lot more visibility
