I understand that the does in fact have a distinct difference from , and there is a lot that happens on Twitter, or can, that the Fediverse doesn’t want. However, I think regardless of whether people have the misconception that the Fediverse, and platforms like , are going to become the new Twitter (it isn’t IMO), I think it’s OK to welcome new people in and help those that genuinely want to experience something new and be a part of a welcoming community online.

  1. I know about the list of embeds. It’s a WordPress site, that is the type of embed that I’m talking about. It renders as expected in the Block Editor but the Kadence theme is not rendering it on the frontend.

    1. Yes, that’s very true. I guess I would hope that people looking into the Fediverse would find an instance that fits with the kind of community they’d want to start out with.
