Question of language: Is it

"... on the fediverse?" Like "I'm on the internet" in English, or

"... in the fediverse?" Like "I'm in the internet" in German.

E.g. "If you want to share interesting links, you do that on Reddit, or on/in the Fediverse with an app like Lemmy"

@J12t durch das Fediversum oder das Fediversum herum

@J12t Does it matter, since we understand either (or all three…) way(s)?

@J12t can't speak for German, but in English I use "on".

@J12t it’s “on the fediverse” (not sure about capitalization); same as “on Facebook”, “on Twitter”, “on YouTube”, “on Patreon”, “on Wikipedia”, “on the web”, and so on

“in” is used to refer to a part of the content of a specific post, “someone mentioned that in a post/status/tweet/toot/…”

(In English, I don’t know German, tho I thought English was a Germanic language so I would have assumed it was the same until your post)
