I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte? (lemmy.ml)

haha thanks, you too!

wait what is the fediverse (wikipedia covers this, but not in a way useful for me right now)

Well, to sum it up, it's a bunch of servers acting together like a big decentralised social media. They connect thanks to activitypub, and it's quite amazing.

Here's a good illustration, i think

For exemple, one can see your profile here from lemmy: lemmy.ml/u/camille_jamal but also from mastodon: https://mas.to/@Camille_Jamal@lemmy.ml/ And even from misskey! https://misskey.io/@camille_jamal@lemmy.ml

Even though thoses three fedi services have very differents interfaces and ways of working, they can communicate thanks to activitypub.

If you check c/fediverse@lemmy.world, you'll see a bunch of useful links about the fediverse in their description.

I see you're banned, hope you'll still get my message, and that your ban is temporary... anyway have a nice day.

I was banned for making a joke about someones username.

User was braininabox and I said "what's it like being stuck in a box" which I meant in a lighthearted and playful way (oops, shouldve added a /j)
