Is there a major difference between Lemmy and Beehaw (or other federated instances)?
Hello everyone! Long time redditor, first time poster to Lemmy.world. As I'm learning more about the Fediverse, I'm seeing there are several instances that seem to serve the same purpose. For example, Lemmy and Beehaw seem to be similar, yet they are still separate.
Are there any big differences or factors I should be looking for when browsing different instances? So far, it looks like the number of communities and rules are the biggest differences between instances.
Bonus question: are there any good sources for learning more about the Fediverse? I've found these links so far:
https://opensource.com/article/23/3/tour-the-fediverse - Gives a decent explanation of the Fediverse. https://fediverse.party/ - Provides a link to different Fediverse instances, not specific to Reddit replacements.
Thanks for the background on Beehaw! After reading that, I was able to read more on defederation and what impact that has. I think I have a better understanding, but I'll continue doing some research. Thank you!
I kept reading defenestration and I won't stop thank you very much
Still works, Beehaw did kinda "throw the baby out with the bathwater" as they used to say.
