Fedi Facebook alternative. Never felt any need to look into it

I mean mastadon is popular enough that many non techies know about it, other than that I cant really think of any fediverse platform that a normal person would know about

I don't know what most of this means

We can solve this entire issue by having portable actors.

Yeah, my mother who is like 70 knows mastodon.
The rest would make her annoyed at me to ramble about. I'd love to get her into something better than threads, but I doubt it's as active as she'd want.

Honestly, I don't understand any of that.

I've been on the fediverse for a good while now. I understand that it's a bunch of small user owned servers rather than a few monolithic corporate owned servers, but beyond that I have no idea how this place runs. I don't even know what to call it; I think I've made a fool of myself before by referring to piefed as a website. I am glad other people understand it/work on it, trying to learn networking or consumer software stuff myself makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a melon baller
Other people have explained it mostly, but piefed is the software your server (called an instance in the fediverse) is running. Confusingly, your instance is piefed.social, but that's just an address, like any other address. It could theoretically be anything.
Piefed uses a protocol called Activitypub, which allows other software the implements Activitypub to understand each other. Often they can be interoperable. For example, I'm on an instance running Lemmy, which is different from piefed, but we can interact. They happen to be similar enough (Piefed being created from Lemmy) that it's basically seemless. However, both of these also can interact with Mastadon too, but it's less seemless. If you see someone starting a comment with an @[user] then they're probably from Mastadon, which works like Twitter.
As for what to call this? Your home is called piefed.social. The larger thing I call Lemmy, but at this point it's Lemmy and Piefed. Sometimes it has Mastadon mixed in. At large, all federated services are called The Fediverse, but that includes ones not interoperable with ours too. Just this set of interoperable software should probably get a name, but I don't know of one.

What do you mean you don’t know what win+ctrl+shift+B does?!
What is this "win" key you speak of?

@julian @LucasWerkmeister @fedimemes Because of this there should be a lot more of new user UX testing. It's really not beginner friendly

Ok but I genuinely wish Misskey/Sharkey was more popular than Mastodon cause it just looks better in every way and has more features imo. If half the instances didn't shut out non-JP accounts I'd use it more, but you can't sign up with VPN on I think.
In my dreams Wafrn could gain more popularity than Masto and be the english equivalent of Misskey.

It’s a relic of an archaic operating system I’m required to use for work.

That's me. It's like being a smart idiot.

They may know matadon, but don't know what a fediverse is and, frankly, disgusted by it. /s

Trying to convince my IRL friends to ditch reddit for Lemmy has become a meme in our group chat.

Doesn't the original credit really belong to xkcd?

Hmmm I suppose, but it is a derivative work, so perhaps I should attribute both?

Misskey is worse than mastodon because all instances I've seen require login
