Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

@fediverse Let's face it. When talking about the Fediverse, it is very hard to sell interoperability between different types of instances as a major advantage.

>recommend software to people interested in joining?

What would be more useful is a _reliable_, _independent_ reviewer of currently available software that works within the Fediverse to point people to Something that compares and contrast the different solutions. eg: Voyager v Mastedon v Thorium v Pixelfed.

@root_beer @fediverse I understand the point, but what if there are different needs and use cases? Like a network of schools in a specific region that want to coordinate, interact and share events among them?

@RookieNerd @fediverse @SamXavia

The specific use case is why I think a reliable, independent review of each is useful.

What differentiates these Lemmy clients:
* #Muffed;
* #Voyager;
* #Eternity;
* #Lemmy Redirect;
* #Jerboa;
* #Thunder;
* #Combustable;
* #Liftoff;
* #Lemmur;

There are almost as many clients for each of #Pixelfeed, #Mastedon, #PeerTube, and the rest of the #Fediverse, for a single platform.
Switch platforms, and discover a plethora of other clients.
