    The fediverse has existed for much longer than lemmy has. I can put you in touch with the designers of the activitypub protocol, which the fediverse uses. I’m not sure what you need though

      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.

        You think they’ll willingly contribute to the enrichment of Steve “Pigboy” Huffman? 🤣

          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
