That’s the result of referring to Lemmy as a service instead of Lemmy as a project. It was cleared up when people stopped doing that.

Seems the confusion was the many people referring to Lemmy the project as Lemmy the service. And it was cleared up when the discussion moved to instance as the service and apps for the service.

I think this is a great illustration of my point. I like the culture beehaw.org has established more than what lemmy.blahaj.zone has encouraged. And I don’t particularly care about “the fediverse”. I care about the online communities I engage with.

Everyone is different and I make my recommendation based on what I think the person I’m making recommendations to would like most.

I generally don’t. I don’t find it to be a useful grouping to reference or discuss.

Try piefed.social
Try Discuss.online
Try beehaw.org
Try programming.dev
I’m always referring to one, never the group.
