I don’t fully understand how lemmy works completely yet. But for example I made an account at Division by zero and subscribe here to post. Is it not just a more inconvenient version of making a reddit account and being able to post practically anywhere?

Also what’s the difference between making an account at one instant and just making one centralized account for the social media?

    Reddit is convenient, but then one corporation owns you and they can decide to fuck over anyone for any reason. Hence the 3rd party app fiasco.

    No single entity owns the fediverse. It is a little more inconvenient if your server dies, but other servers survive. It is a little more inconvenient if your server blocks other servers and you don’t agree with the reasons why. That’s the trade off for not having one centralized asswipe in charge.

    Not sure what you’re asking. You make an account on one lemmy server and that’s it.
