Rollover says I just want to scroll videos. I would suggest loops but im have not used it and am not sure if it ever got to the point where it is federated.

      Why not? A collection of links to things posted by people with comments from other people? Seems pretty social media to me.

        Social is not the primary word in that phrase it’s Media. Media the primary function is passive. Where only a few engage those people are the media personalities or in new media influencers. Since lemmy is so small most people engage since is not big enough to be used to make money or influence people to make other people money. So lemmy acts more like old school forms with a big webring than social media.

          I disagree. We are sharing media. Whether or not the poster has a large following or is making money is irrelevant. What matters is that we’re socializing, of a sort, by sharing media with one another.

            While true and I can see where you are coming from. My logic is we are sharing media meaning this is not the media in of itself. If this is social media, do you consider a discussion board like the ones that use phpbb social media? Honest question.

              Yeah. I see any kind of online platform where users interact with other users and share media of any sort to be social media, so forums and discussion boards would fall under that definition. Reddit and Lemmy aren’t much different from those types of forums. Granted, that is a very broad definition of social media, but the term itself is very vague.
