Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

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?

It's a first for me. I wanted to join Mastodon but didn't know what instance to choose and was generally confused about how everything works so I didn't create an account. With Lemmy it was different since I really wanted to join. So I took my time to figure everything out and it is way less complicated than I initially thought. But I get why it might seem confusing at first, especially subscribing to communities on different servers.
