    Uhhhhhhh…I don’t know. I just got here a month ago. I spent May smoking so much weed that I do NOT remember the bulk of May. Including the days that led me to Lemmy.

    All I know, is I went through a very bad time in late April. So I just said to myself “too much shit is going down. I don’t even give a fuck anymore.”

    And so it was. I was baked out of my mind for like 3-4 weeks straight. I’ve never done that before, but honestly, I needed that.

    And now that I’m sober, somehow I mostly know what I’m doing within my own bubble on lemmy, but I would NOT call myself an advanced power user of Lemmy.

    I learned while high, and although I retained what I learned, I don’t remember learning it.

    So now this is a new thing about Lemmy. I know of https://browse.feddit.de/ but I don’t know of fediverse explorer.

    Explain the difference between the thing I linked, which I think I was told is the be all end all of Lemmy community searching, and this Fediverse Explorer?

    I’m excited for this Fediverse. I’m all in on this. I love the seperation, the redundancy, the freedom. But I feel like I’m in kindergarten, and you guys are like “check out this algebra!”

    And I’m like “Do what now?”

      I don’t know how to answer your question, but I do have a long unrelated anecdote to share followed by some questions of my own.

      They have a different way to present things. I prefer Fediverse Explorer (more information with the table format), but to each their own.

        Ah. So it’s not one being better than the other. It’s more a case of layout taste.

        THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS FEDIVERSE!!!

        Other platforms would tell you “this is what this service is, this is how it looks, it’s all you’re getting, so kneel down, shut the fuck up and take this corporate dick down your throat!”

        Meanwhile the fediverse is more like:

        “This is the thing you use. It’s great!”

        And then another guy is like “No, wait, try this instead. It’s better.”

        So now you have to try both, snd make your own conclusion.

        Or maybe there’s a third thing I don’t even know about. Theres no law saying that ONLY two options are available. There’s no limit. You could show me 500 different options.

        Nobody can tell you what to use, what not to use, whats better…thats all stuff for the user to decide.
