    FB is huge in Canada for personal stuff too, me and my friends do not post meal pic or vacation or things like this, but damn marketplace and some hobbies group are strong there. Just the “Made in Canada” FB group grew from 50’000 members to 1.1 million in less than a month.

      FB can be easily replaced with Lemmy, it’s just a question of age/generation I guess

        no not really, its a totally different thing. you cant follow people here, nobody here uses their real name, and you can’t limit visibility of content to just friends. marketplace is also not a thing, and that feature is not just yet another community

          I said that a Facebook group is like a Lemmy community, not that Lemmy can replace Facebook. You got friendica for that (never used it though) For marketplace replacement, Flohmarkt is coming

        Aren’t there actually tiktok alternatives I’m the Fediverse, rather than suggesting something that’s use case is different?

        Edit: I meant to say Facebook alternatives…
