Fediverse
- Why this community exists?
BrikoX @lemmy.zip FeaturedThere are 2 popular communities dedicated to Fediverse topic, !fediverse@lemmy.world and !fediverse@lemmy.ml, so why create another one?
It's mostly for me, so that I have somewhere to post where instance admins or community moderators personal beliefs doesn't prevent honest discussions.
I have no expectations of this community growing, but people are welcome to post and comment and if someone wants to help it grow, message me.
