Asklemmy

I remember telling myself:

Wah, the concept of Mastodon is insane! Makes me want to creat an account

Followed by:

Wait it's an alternative to Twitter, so it's still inferior to Reddit by how it works

Yes, and I just learnt about Lemmy an hour ago because of r/linuxmemes

My first fediverse app is mastodon

I also signed up to Mastodon, mostly to support the digitalcourage.social server, but probably won't be using it a lot. I didn't use Twitter, either, but Reddit. I will probably continue to use /r/flying and /r/synthesizer, as they are so niche that I cannot expect anything comparable here.

I'll have to figure out how to post with Mastodon account on Lemmy.

I've heard of mastodon before but never really got into it since I wasn't a fan of the idea of twitter. I've always like the idea of reddit so I've signed up on lemmy and kbin and wait to see which one I prefer, so this will be my first time in the fediverse. So far I like the idea but currently not fully on board with it because of a few issues I have with its functionality, but that could just be due to the heavy load all the instances are dealing with.

Lemmy was my first fediverse app. I i joined ages ago, then eventually went back to reddit because usage was so low. Then later I joined mastodon after Twitter imploded. And now I'm back on Lemmy. There are people here now! It's great!

This is my first time with any federated app. My wife figured it out so I figured I should be able to too. Once I understood the jist of it, it was a pretty smooth transition from Reddit.

Yes it is! Exciting to discover it.

I was never really interested in twitter or similar services, so I pass on Mastodon.

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 have been on mastodon for a bit, but not really that active in contributing because I don't love the microblogging format. I do consume some pictures and news via it.

Lemmy is definitely more my speed. I've heard you can cross access lemmy from mastodon, but my understanding is the UI is not ideal, so I just also have a separate lemmy account and jerboa to go along with my Mastodon account and fedilab.

using both Lemmy and mastodon for the first time today. interesting stuff, I'm liking it so far.

I tried Mastodon first but I never really was much of a Twitter user. I find that format in general makes it difficult to find information about specific topics and there's not as much discussion. I'm liking Lemmy way more because I like the forum style format. It's certainly interesting watching all the "duplicate" communities across the instances though, I'm hoping it'll settle down a bit.

Yes it's my first time. I'm a little worried about long term stability of communities and accounts if individuals get tired of hosting servers, but seems like everyone is really nice and invested so far.

Yes, it is my first time, no, I did not know that and created a Mastodon account separately once I heard of it.

What exactly is "fediverse" anyway?

I tried Diaspora back in the day when it launched. I'm not sure if that counts or not.

Taking some getting used to but it reminds me of very old school Reddit in a lot of ways. Feels good so far.

I’ve been on Mastadon for a while, and have liked it for content that was less mainstream on Twitter. Gave a better way to get more frequent content from folks I wanted to follow over Reddit. Glad to see Lemmy finally gain momentum due to the Reddit drama.

I use Element (Matrix) to talk to friends and family. I really enjoy the Fediverse, it feels like we're going back to the user owned internet.

I've used Mastodon, Calckey, Pixelfed and Bookwyrm and found all of them to be pretty cool. So far I've liked Lemmy and ever since I found out about the frdiverse I've found it's interconnection of so many platforms to be helpful

yeah, i did go to mastodon a while ago, but not my cup of tea

Yep. No idea what I’m doing but I’m happy be involved and it’s fun to learn new things :)

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.

No. Sometimes i use mastodon.
