Side note: when linking to a community you have to do !community@instance. If you do !fediverse@kbin.social, it links to kbin.social’s fediverse community for everyone. If you just write !fediverse, that links to !fediverse@programming.dev for me, !fediverse@kbin.social for you and other kbin.social users, !fediverse@lemmy.world for lemmy.world users, etc.

You won’t have all the features of mastadon with a lemmy account, but here are some things that can happen.

Mastadon users can post to lemmy and kbin communities. You can reply to these posts and both lemmy and mastadon users will be able to see it. For the mastadon users, the comments look like replies on a mastadon thread.

Mastadon users can also comment on lemmy/kbin posts. You can reply to those comments, upvote/downvote them etc.

Mastadon users can follow lemmy and kbin communities. But lemmy users can’t follow mastadon users yet. Kbin users can follow mastadon users. The reason kbin is less popular than lemmy is because kbin lacks mobile apps.

You don’t need to subscribe to a community to post. You can post to any lemmy or kbin community from any lemmy or kbin account as long as the account hasn’t been blocked.

There is no difference in making accounts as long as you’re not blocked. The only difference is that no single entity can control lemmy. The people who control dbzero are different from the people who control lemmy.world.

I knew mastadon was the largest, but I didn’t realize how much larger it is. Mastadon is 78% of the fediverse users, while lemmy is third place at 3.3%. Misskey is second place with roughly double lemmy’s users. Looks like it’s a jp only thing.

Add your site to Google’s search index and Bing’s search index. Most other search engines use one of their indexes. It can take a few days before the site starts showing up on Google/Bing/other search engines that use their indexes.

There’s a bunch of ways to optimize seo other than wait for more people to link to your site, but they won’t have as much of an effect as just having a more popular site with more incoming links.
