And I see both of your replies on lemmy, in the Jerboa app. What a time to be alive!

Yepp, it works surprisingly well. I assume one of the similar communities will eventually “win” on one of the instances, like with similar subreddits over time. Also some instances will go full specific, like nature or movies or gaming etc. See the growth of lemmynsfw already, lol.

I’m really liking it a lot. I wasn’t too amused by Mastodon either, but as you say: for link aggregation, for specific communities, for discussing topics (and not being about people, but about topics) this is a perfect match.

At some point last year they had 1400 employees. One thousand fucking four hundred.
For a link aggregation site.
