I spent the last year working on the Fediverse. Here's what I've learned.
The Fediverse, you might have heard of it. From Mastodon to Peertube and more—it’s is a collection of different services that are all working together to form an interconnected universe of applicat...

Very clear and nice video!
With that said, I was a bit disappointed when I joined the Fediverse about the interaction between social medias. I usually used reddit and very little twitter and I was excited when I saw the Fediverse and that you could even follow from other Social media but from lemmy you cannot follow people from mastodon and from mastodon you can technically follow communities but you see all replies and the feed becomes overwhelming while in Lemmy I choose if I open the comment section for a specific entry.
So I ended up with the same number of accounts on the fediverse than in centralized platforms which is fine but I think Fediverse sells this too much. For me decentralization is a good enough point to stay.
And about the AI thingy and the feeds, I think we are just seeing the early Fediverse same as early internet but I'm sure in the future we will have apps that create a feed for you if you want to so to me that's something that we also shouldn't sell as a positive OR negative. I think this is something that will simply change as the Fediverse grows.
But this is not a criticism of the video! Just my personal thoughts :)
@4Robato So it's a PITA to set it up... but Friendica seems to solve this issue. I wish there was a decent mobile app to recommend... but I really like the bookface theme. But yeah, here I am posting this to lemmy and the post below this is from mastodon or various other fedi's
But it is a bit of a pain to set up to get it how I like it... by default they basically give you all the keys to the castle and laugh at you. when you dont know where to go
