What do you think about this graphic?
It should give an easy overview of the architecture of the Fediverse and what it differentiates from old social media.
Out of curiosity, has anyone found any more conservative Lemmy communities? I’m always worried that we’ll get folks splitting off of rumble to find purchase here. So far, all of the c/conservative communities have been deliciously consumed by memes, but more is more funni
It needs a lot more people and lines connecting to the centralize services, like 6+. You have 14 dudes in the fediverse, you should have a similar number of dudes in the traditional centralized social media things. You need to make it clear that every connection between two people goes through that central server. With only 3 or 4 it looks like it's some kind of small community there, like you're just saying "communities exist on Facebook" rather than "on Facebook everybody connects to one central Facebook service". It would also be good to draw a black line around the edge of the bubble to indicate it's a walled garden rather than an open system.
For the Fediverse example, it would be good to have a slightly darker shaded bubble with people around their local fediverse instance. That would indicate that there are local communities, but that they can still communicate with all the other communities. And, maybe show that people can be part of different communities, show one person connected both to a mastodon instance and a Lemmy instance.
Edit: I just thought of something else to make it clearer. On the centralized networks you could also make a darker group of people who are a community on say Facebook, but show that that community has to connect to each-other through the central server.
Mbin is missing ;P
Here is the file link. Let's create multiple versions :D

(Sorry for the proprietary service!)
Ouch, brace yourselves, FOSS ninjas incoming 😄
I'm not much of a designer 😅
Piefed as well
Agreed
For the top services, I’d make each of the blue background circles a different color to better denote that they’re proprietary and incompatible.
For the Fediverse section, you could add Tumblr, and other services who also federate via activity pub to show our interoperability and expansive reach.
Tumblr
Is it already working?

That's cool but I think that's too technical for the average social media user
What about this one?
Was on [email protected] at some point:
https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2098ca94-7b29-47a4-8c00-80d90dc9eef0.png
That's cool too, but way too much text for it to be quickly consumed on a small display. This is more for the second stage when people are already curious and want to learn more, in my opinion.
So good 👌
Okay maybe I don't get it but how can I access mastodon from my lemmy account?
Mastodon and Lemmy have only limited interoperability. You can't follow individual users on Lemmy, so most of it is one-way. Mastodon users can post to Lemmy communities by @-ing a specific community, and Lemmy users can then reply as normal and their replies will show up in the Mastodon users feed.
Subscribing to user posts on Lemmy would be a fantastic feature
Mbin has microblogging
That's why I'm always a bit reluctant to have an infographic with Mastodon and Lemmy fully connected. Sure, it's possible to interact, but it's not ideal.
Having another one with Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed servers could be better
Simply put your Mastodon profile URL into the search.
Eg. https://europe.pub/u/[email protected]
But it works better the other way around
