A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy) (www.reddit.com)

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

I never played WoW or anything like that, but aren't there several WoW servers and you have to decide which one to be on when you start the game? People managed that.

Yep, and it's not even fully federated. Different servers have also quite a bit different focus.

I will steal from now on WoW comparison when talking about the fediverse!
