I’ve made accounts on servers running these different software and the user experience feels similar between them. They’re all FOSS Reddits. I can log into servers running all of em via the same Interstellar app on Android and see the same communities

Are there more notable differences for folks running the server or the mods running the individual communities/subredits?

Or am i misunderstanding them?

    Try getting managed-hosting for them, & you’ll see that only some can be hired.

    Managed-hosting means that the hirer isn’t having to do all the sysadmin stuff for their instance, like security-updates, they’re able to concentrate on the community, instead.

    Horribly-pricey, for the amount of service one can get, from what I’ve seen, but … drastically cheaper than having one’s community obliterated by a missed security-update, & then becoming irrelevant.

    I wish there was massively more competition in the managed-hosting space, for fediverse servers.
