This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?
Lemmy is my first
I love the idea, I hope it grows in popularity
I wasn’t aware of that when I first signed up, but a few days in I learned that
Yes it is the first time. I’m liking it. I’ve never tried Mastodon as I was never into Twitter and the two seemed similar.
I think that Reddit style forums are better suited for the fediverse anyway. Reminds me of the old internet of IRC/Usenet and eventually vBulletin/Xenforo days when I was growing up.
Twitter and by extension Mastadon I think suffers from smaller communities since the point of those apps is to blast your thoughts and opinions to as many people as possible while Reddit/Lemmy is more for conversation.
I’ve tried lemmy before, but it wasn’t active enough to merit sticking with at the time. It was pretty early on.
I gave mastadon a shot, but I hated twitter to begin with, and mastadon functions about the same, though with fewer assholes.
The difference between the practically dead lemmy I tried back then, and the better developed one now makes me really regret not having given it more effort
Yes. I did try Mastodon during the Twitter fiasco. But the whole fediverse concept seems a little more suited for specific forums like Reddit
First time user. No issues so far, but I don’t fully understand what I’m doing. I’ve seen pro/con threads that don’t make sense to me yet, but maybe that will come with time.
