Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

How well they backfill and inter-op is very platform-dependent, obvs (your platform and the remote platform)
I'll ask this for myself and anyone else who doesn't know: what are those you mention and how are they different from Lemmy?
@Paradachshund they're also some federated platforms that one can self-host.
Don't know much about Piefed, but it seems like it has some better moderation tools than Lemmy.
Mbin is a more (old) Reddit-like platform, also federated and self-hostable, which also has microblog capabilities.
Mbin was forked from Kbin sothe ethos of that one was similar.
Lotide is a more spartan bulletin board, kind of like Hacker News (but development of it stopped though).
All of them use the same standard for federation, so you can browse and post to these communities straight from Lemmy.
Thanks!
I use mbin but I never look at where a post is coming from these days. I don't actually use subscriptions and just block things I'm explicitly not interested in as I see them so I take in a bit of everything.
