    Btw, what’s the deal with your instance? I noticed you’re from one of the original servers from 4 years ago. Do you know why it was founded or can you direct me to some information?

    I’m from the reddit migration, although a bit more experienced than most (having been here over 2 weeks makes me a unicorn on my server).

    I’d like to spread some more knowledge about the history of the platform and what kind of different servers are out there. Problem is, I don’t have any knowledge! Help!

        Ah, I see. So tchncs.de hosts other federated platforms, and someone probably decided to set up a Lemmy site when it was originally created 4 years ago. But it was likely pretty empty until the past couple weeks.

        Ok good to know, I don’t really know about XMPP/Jabber but I like what I see on wikipedia. Thanks!

            I see. Lemmy is my first introduction to a decentralized, open source social media platform, and I’m just so excited about all the possibilities federation can provide.
