      It does technically federate a little, @[email protected] exists. Not real federation, but I enjoy being technically correct 🤓 I do wish dansup open sourced it already so people could get a better picture of what’s going on with it, but he did say he’s actively working on federation this weekend.

      It does allow third party apps like Loopy, where are you seeing that it doesn’t?

        right so theyve said for _ 8_+ months now.

        im sick of seeing it included in fediverse projects when it still doesnt actually do any federating and everyone keeps sayin, ‘just wait, theyre working on it!’.

        bullshit. ill believe it when i see it, and it shouldnt be included in any fediverse topics until it does so… not because ‘it might’

    For anyone in the USA, I highly recommend the Discuss.Online instance - it has a great server and admin team, as evidenced by its fantastic uptime stats, plus is quite welcoming to casual discussions. I bounced around a couple of different instances before making this one my primary home and have had zero regrets since.

    Also if anyone wants to see a peek of what’s coming up in the future, while it’s just shy of being fully ready for the masses yet, PieFed is an amazing project that will soon enough overtake Lemmy. It already has tons of features that Lemmy lacks - like Categories of Communities, hashtags, YouTube embedding, an absolute ton of customization options, and much more - even if there are a few still missing in reverse (like “searching” for content, user account tagging, the ability to preview a message prior to sending, receipt of notifications is quite buggy… - for early adopters though, it’s almost fully functional, especially for someone experienced in knowing how to fall back to Lemmy when necessary).

    There are lots of exciting things happening on the Fediverse lately!:-)
