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

At the moment the internet is flawed, do you think the fediverse is the solution?

For most of the users currently online it's extremely difficult to understand the concept of federation and how everything works, so I doubt it'll ever be as prevalent as "the big social media platforms", but for technically-inclined users, it'll definitely have at least moderate success.

I believe that's the point: Coming from Reddit, I don't understand what Mastodon (yes, I thought it is something similar!), Fediverse, Lemmy.ml and feddit are, have in common or where the differences are.

And furthermore: Why should I care?

I think it will be hard to convince a significant number of people to come here and STAY.

I hope I'm wrong. I just created my first community :-)
