You're on it bro, I'm on kbin browsing this post. We can all see and talk to each other.
Honestly people talk too much about the fediverse and federation to newbies and it creates this false barrier to entry. Here's this person, commenting on a post not knowing shit about how it works or where it's from. You don't really need to know about all of that stuff to get going. Just go to any of the instances and get browsing.
Yeah people tend to spew information because they're excited about the fediverse but it's really not complicated to actually use.
People definitely make it seem more complex than it is.
How about that. I’m a newbie!
Like 95% of us weren't here a month ago, we're all newbies.
Yeah I'm on sh.itjust.works, another lemmy instance and can see ya
Lol. I think I expected it to be more complicated. Thanks
