Interaction through a medium is social media i guess. But i wouldn’t call ist that. Lemmy, WhatsApp and YouTube aren’t really social media for me. I don’t throw personal stuff into the void of people i more or less don’t know in hope to get likes.
I would argue that a forum is a type of social media. It’s very different in that it’s as anonymous as you want it to be. But it is still a place where people visit for the purpose of socializing
Aren’t your friends meant to also use Lemmy for it to count as social media?
No one I know knows what Lemmy is.
it’s more of a forum than social media if you ask me

forums existed long before what we call social media was even invented
*I* don’t even know what Lemmy is, and I’ve been using it daily for months!
I can explain it to you: it’s a social media
Hmmm… I want to believe you, but that sounds like a made-up term…
