I’ve just come from the reddit exodus and I’m looking around for some documentation or info on the privacy & security on infosec.pub and/or lemmy as a platform - how our logins are stored and whether data is accessible by developers / other parties.

Does anyone know where I can find more information on this? (Or if not could you shed some light)

This platform seems incredibly promising and I’m sick of reddit’s ways now, but i want to read up before I fully commit. Many thanks!

(Edit - sorry if this isn’t an appropriate place for this by the way, just seemed a sensible community to put it in!)

    Best way to describe it is that it’s like email for message boards. You can use different servers, or even run your own, but they all can talk to each other.

    You can use something like this to find communities overall

    https://browse.feddit.de/

    Let’s say you want to connect to the largest community there, but it’s on beehaw. You can then search it or you can go straight to it

    https://infosec.pub/c/technology@beehaw.org

    If you want to search for communities you can do that in search as well. But again it’s buggy.

      So cool. This post helped me figure out how to get in touch with other communities in other instances. I thought I’d have to create accounts for each instance. So thank you :)
