Not unless someone is gonna bother to explain what the difference is and why it even exists.
See, this is a big problem with all the stuff on the fediverse: people announce all of these strangely named projects, but no one, not anywhere, will ever bother to explain what any of it is or why any of it exists. They just assume everyone already knows, and it’s very very, very annoying. And if anyone does bother to link to a project page, it’s extremely long and complicated with 20 to 30 paragraphs, or it’s buried deep in some long long long chain of extremely circumspect and vague posts.
Just be clear, concise, and direct about what the project is, what it does, and why it exists. Please. For once. Just tell me what the hell it is and why it exists in one single simple sentence. THE VERY FIRST SENTENCE. PREFERABLY THE HEADLINE.
These are all forks of forks of the microblogging platform Misskey, so they tend to focus on their differences compared to other Misskey forks or Misskey itself. I don’t think it’s strange for people interested in the Fediverse to at least have heard of these. Misskey is older than Mastodon and it supported ActivityPub before e.g. Lemmy existed.
You were somehow even more vague than the post itself, giving even less-useful, more-extraneous information. It’s as if I was looking through a blurry camera lens and you made it even more blurry. Thanks for doing exactly the opposite of what I asked for.
That’s a lot of words (and even more negativity) to not say precisely where and how you consider that comment has failed to meet your requirements. For someone asking for clarity, I thought that could be worth considering. Why not show the kind of useful answer you’re expecting, or at least show precisely where that comment has missed the point?
And, nope, if you’re wondering, this not an attempt at trolling you: there is not enough of us around here, so instead of spitting towards one another face, maybe explaining why one feels… disappointed could help change what may need to be changed?
Car shops are clearly labeled and have giant windows that have their products on display, and people driving in and out of their parking lot and running ads on TV night and day explaining what their products do.
If you’re referring to Lemmy/PieFed, Mastodon, and the like, well, people know about those because there was a huge amount of publicity about those services within the tech community that explained exactly what they were, and the benefits, especially in places like Reddit and twitter.
It was more like convincing people who drove cars and rode motorcycles to go electric.

So you didn’t even bother reading my comment. It’s like talking to AI.
Whatever you say. Have a great day.
You sound a bit like someone who demands to be explained what a car is when entering a car shop 😅
Car shops are clearly labeled and have giant windows that have their products on display, and people driving in and out of their parking lot and running ads on TV night and day explaining what their products do.
So, no, it’s not at all like that
And Fediverse instances are similar. But that only works when you know what a car actually is.
