Confused on what fediverse apps to use

I have recently started using fediverse apps, mostly lemmy and mastodon. So far Lemmy is the only one I use the most and kind of understand....

Reddit

Can Lemmy really replace Reddit at a surtain time

What information is public and is anything considered private?

I read that if you author a downvote it is public information. What other information is public to the network? Are subscriptions public?

at least one lemmy.world admin accepted an off the record meeting with meta, and they won't tell you about it.

Don’t belive me? Ask them....

If the majority of the Fediverse is going to defederate from Meta Threads, does that mean we will defederate from Tumblr too? (kbin.social)

Reddit: Into the Fediverse

With Threads/Meta heading for the fediverse, and Tumblr looking at ActivityPub, how would you feel if Reddit decided to add support and federate Kbin & Lemmy?...

open external links in a new tab

I wrote a quick script that opens links to external sites in a new tab. It works everywhere, not just on lemmy.world. You need a browser extension to embed custom javascript to use it....

mastodon with lemmy (lemmy.world)

Announcing OpenLemmyStats.org: Publicly Queryable Vote History + Other Hidden Data for Any Lemmy User! (lemmy.world)

What’s stopping me from doing this? Here we go:...

some suggestions

There should be a maximum cap of 500k users (maybe less) on all instances because:...

If Lemmy.world doesn't defederate from Threads, Meta and all things Zuck within 24 hours, I will shut down my subs and leave.

I didn’t come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn’t care about its users....

sub specific upvote downvote rules?

I think that most folks use upvote/ downvote as an v agree/ disagree. But maybe there could be, in the long run, a place where other votes could be made. Dm it’s more like a song quality system, maybe similar to customer support reviews you get agree after dealing with a customer support call ....

when creating a new community, what's the difference between the name, and display name?

Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There’s a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn’t seem to make any help text show up....
