Aren’t your friends meant to also use Lemmy for it to count as social media?
No one I know knows what Lemmy is.
it's more of a forum than social media if you ask me
Interaction through a medium is social media i guess. But i wouldn't call ist that. Lemmy, WhatsApp and YouTube aren't really social media for me. I don't throw personal stuff into the void of people i more or less don't know in hope to get likes.
I would argue that a forum is a type of social media. It's very different in that it's as anonymous as you want it to be. But it is still a place where people visit for the purpose of socializing
forums existed long before what we call social media was even invented
it's Social Media once there are ads and blatant anti-user changes
*I* don't even know what Lemmy is, and I've been using it daily for months!
I can explain it to you: it's a social media
Hmmm... I want to believe you, but that sounds like a made-up term...
