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?
I tried friendica years ago as an alternative to Facebook, back when Facebook was still for connecting with friends and family. But since none of my friends were interested in it, I quickly lost interest myself.
I checked out Mastodon when Musk bought Twitter, even though I never actively used Twitter. I don’t use it as social media, I use it for news aggregation.
Lemmy is now the first Fediverse software I actively use and I really like it so far.
