I never got into mastodon because I couldn't connect multiple instances. I like this a lot about Lemmy so far (just here for a few minutes though).

Reading about the fediverse got me thinking. What other use cases could you think of? Maybe outside social media?

Would a fediverse password manager be more or less secure than some company owned pm?

How about "clones" of other social media like FB and Insta, TikTok?

What about a blogging community like Medium?

Other ideas?

Thanks. I'm quite new to the fediverse, but really love the idea.

@gredo I think I am into a year almost, lol. I was looking for a Facebook alternative so there I am, on Friendica ๐Ÿ˜

How did you get your friends over?

@gredo I didn't, yet, haha. I'm still on Facebook, yet once they move to other platforms to chat on there, I will pull the plug.

I had one friend that got to Mastodon, then got bored by it, then there was another one that tried the very server I am on, currently. She didn't seem to stick either.

I try to keep the number of accounts on social networks low tho. I started to be more active on chat apps with friends and the like. Over here I am mostly posting news, pictures and commenting stuff around ๐Ÿ˜

Edit: I'm still figuring out how to use this whole thing (the account) tbh. But I enjoy the features of it and try to maximize them to their full potential. For example there's no way you can add a title to your post on Facebook, format your text using BBCodes for instance (whether in posts, comments or on the profile), add inline images and other media (inside the text, like, you write something, add an image, then continue writing below it), follow RSS feeds directly etc.
