Micro blogging like Mastodon I like more for following the personalities. I don't have a big attention seeking personality so I do not get a lot of followers on that type of social media. I am more of a reply guy so Lemmy style content aggregator with comments I am able to participate more in.
What exactly is a conteny agregator, I don't get it... is reddit a content agregator? If so, why?
It's in the name, mostly. It aggregates content. You can post links, text posts, images to specific communities and have them displayed in a feed of your communities of choice. That's what Digg was and Reddit is, and kind of what Lemmy is doing- except on the Fediverse.
Mhm, I see.
So FB is not a content agregator?
I am really confused regarding these labels, social network, content agregator...
I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I guess the "groups" functionality of Facebook could technically qualify it as such, but its primarily aimed at being a social media website. I'm not 100% on it either, because there's a lot of overlap between platforms and their functionality.
