@gigachad Yes, Lemmy really is a kind of special case in the Fediverse. From Lemmy, you can only post or comment in threads that are in groups (i.e. Lemmy, Piefed, mbin, Friendica groups) and can’t follow individual accounts.
Of the others, groups are the exception, while Lemmy specialises in them. In this respect, Lemmy can do less here, but it is more clearly structured.
@gigachad Why do you think that’s exaggerated? … almost everything is connected, isn’t it?

“Recommendations for German Friendica instances? (…) I’m looking for recommendations and hoping someone here knows friendica bit better and could recommend a german instance or two!”
German Friendica instances: I can recommend anonsys.net (the instance I am writing from) by @tux and loma.ml by @feb
@maltasoron For the connection to Bluesky (and some others), #Friendica is probably the best choice in the Fediverse. Among other things, there is a Bluesky connector. Here is a guide (in German): friendica-hilfe.gitbook.io/fri…

@VeSpectagles I wouldn’t make myself dependent on whether the *key instance is by the same admins as the lemmy instance. The *key softwares are generally recommended if you want a lot of functions and a modern interface. I particularly like the Antennas / News Pickers, with which the content can be structured very well according to your own search terms (a kind of topic-specific timelines). The interaction with Lemmy also works well.
There is an instance list for #Sharkey and #Iceshrimp instances here
@JustOneMoreCat If all accounts use Lemmy, all images are also federated. But in the communication between Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse there are still some restrictions regarding pictures in replies.
A #Friendica forum would probably be more suitable.
Here is an insight into what this could look like: peertube.stream/w/p/4K4MWYXMEY…
(an older version of Friendica is shown here, but in principle it is currently similar)
