I just need a couple names or a single name so I can do an AMA Request and get it posted to AMA. I think it would be a neat interview and if need be i will send them the questions before.
I know that but looking for the OG of lemmyworld or the fediverse. Because it kind of seems like the creator was like bender by saying I don’t like the social media I see so I will go and create my own.
That’s a really strange “or.” .world has only existed for about a year, since the big reddit exodus, and it’s just an instance, running Lemmy software on a server. The Lemmy software was first released five years ago, but that wasn’t the beginning of the fediverse. Like all fediverse apps, Lemmy makes use of the Activity Pub protocol, which came out like a year earlier.
right. I’ve been running infosec.exchange for going on 8 years, and the fediverse was already around for a while before that. It seems unlikely that lemmy admins, in particular, would want to do an AMA on reddit for the very reason that causes them to run a lemmy instance in the first place. but, you never know, I guess
It literally cannot, because nobody owns it. Which is why there’s some confusion in this thread.
You’ve basically entered a public beach asking for the manager. Everybody’s looking around a bit confused. That guy over there has been here all day, so maybe he would do? Or maybe that guy over there who has a beach blanket with a bunch of friends on it? That kid over there built a nice sandcastle, maybe he’s the one you’d like to talk to.
It’s not like the private beach over at Reddit. There’s not one clear person in charge, and not one person can shut it down or change the rules for everyone else.
We have some people occasionally trying to poison the water, but we’re getting better at expelling them before they manage to do too much damage.
I understand but be it one person or a group just wanted to give my thanks and praise them. But someone somewhere had to come up with the fedivere or lemmyworld. It did not automaticcaly pop up out of know where. And something tells me there is an itch that the creator can’t scratch until he or she knows how much their work affected peoples lives in a good way.
It really did not pop out of nowhere, this comment here outlines it pretty well. Basically, there are the ones who came up with the protocol, the ones who came up with Lemmy (I think this is what you want) and the ones who started lemmy.world

Yeah, seems like a bad idea all the way around. Not sure Reddit would want it either.
You think they’ll willingly contribute to the enrichment of Steve “Pigboy” Huffman? 🤣
sure why not they can show off promote and feel their userbase and hopefully it does not turn out like spez
