    The way Matstodon works makes it a very different animal. Just recently they started rolling out more robust search too, so it’s continuing to improve.

    You can even follow lemmy with Mastodon if you choose too. Depending on your client, and what you follow, it might be noisy to do so though!

    Another cool advantage of a organization or government hosting their own instance is that every user gets name@official-url.tld so no one can impersonate them. No blue check mark systems required.

    But Mastodon also has a simple system to verify an account by linking a profile to a website too.

    Anyway, I’m just doing a nerdy info-dump now. I’ll leave it at that.

      Well, thanks for taking the time to try and explain it. I’m trying to learn as much as I can. I’m between jobs right now and want to try to get into some sort of software development.
