Why would I want to follow either account?

Basically, Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines are federated as groups to the micro and macroblogging fediverse. People in friendica, mastodon or Firefish can interact with Lemmy and kbin by mentioning a community/magazine in their posts and following them the way they do with other types of federated groups (like guppe, chirp, friendica forums, etc)

Pixelfed didn’t have federates group support, meaning that its federation with the threadiverse was bad, not to say practically non-existent. Supporting federated groups and even having its own type of group will allow people on pixelfed to interact with Lemmy and Kbin the way other fediverse software do: following them and tagging the community/magazine handle in posts.

short summary: It means better federation between Pixelfed, and Lemmy and Kbin.

What they don’t seem to understand is that in the fediverse it’s them who are responsible for curating their own experience, there’s no big content algorithm doing it for them here.

It’s their job to join communities they may like and then set their main page to “subscribed”. They don’t have to keep it set in “ALL” if they don’t want to see content from all the servers their server federates with/isn’t defederated from.

Lemmy and kbin may be discussion platforms/link aggregators, but they aren’t reddit.

If you go take a look at my first blog post about communick, you would see that the last thing I want to have is a “Corporation” in the Fediverse, but instead I want to have it strong and attractive enough for small, independent service providers

No. What you want is to make money out of decentralised social media.

Not every business is a “corporation”. Not every professional that provides a service for money is a rent-seeker

People offering their services and talent for money already exist on the fediverse.

The fact that there are “business coming to the fediverse” does not mean that they can only operate on the same (failed) business models from Big Tech.

Funny. Because in the polls you asked a question about features someone would be interested in pay for. Some of which are characteristical of corporate social media…

your use of the “Royal We” to express a personal opinion.

You do understand that it’s an expression, don’t you?

not backing up said opinion with any type of argument, which makes it sound like you are simply stating it as a fact.

It’s a fact. Monetisation of any kind is against the mere idea of federated social media. People com here to be away from corporations, advertising and the like. The model of social media that seeks to make social networking into a business model is in crisis, why would anyone want to made the fediverse into that?

I see you have trouble with people not agreeing with you…

We definitely do not need business or premium services here.
