I am considering using a Fire tablet and a Chromebook and would like to know what OS I need to access the Fediverse suite of apps.
Is the Fediverse accessible as part of the Amazon and Google suite of apps?
Would I be able to access it on the Web anywhere no matter what device?
I intend to use the Fediverse everywhere if possible no matter what device I may acquire.
What? LOL you are accessing the Fediverse when writing this post.
I think you’re confused about what the Fediverse is. It’s comprised of a variety of software (mostly social media) that’s interoperable, meaning you can post on one platform, then read and reply from another.
You don’t need any app at all to access it. Apps are just frontends (user interfaces) to access the information submitted to the Fediverse.
There are portals scattered throughout the land which will only respond to the presence of the sacred fedstones. Once you’ve gathered all of the fedstones, lay them out before a portal and step through. Only those brave enough leave our realm know what secrets the great Fediverse holds.
You’re on it now, bud. It’s here, you’re in it. Welcome!
Neither Amazon nor Google are not part of the Fediverse. If you use their suites of software, you’ll be part of their non-federated, closed systems.
Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, and many, many others are Federated, but not the big corporate entities… Except Threads, stretching out from Meta’s own little digital fiefdom.
First, say goodbye to any hope of privacy.
Second, the entire Fediverse is pretty much web-based.
There’s also a lot of great clients you can use as well. I use the ones on f-droid because open source.
The Fediverse is both everywhere and nowhere. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
