Asklemmy

I had (have) a Mastodon account, but I didn't put in the time and effort to understand the fediverse, so it's just been sitting there. Now, with kbin and lemmy I see the potential and I'm off to explore!

I also like the fact that 'fediverse' is pronounced very similar to 'Faits Divers'. Litterally 'miscellaneous facts', but is used for smaller news items, anecdotes, tidbits of information, ... which seems very appropriate.

I switched to Mastodon a while back, but Lemmy seemed really empty until recently.

Not really, I heard of Mastodon after the Twitter shit that happened but never really used it. Until now and then I actually like Lemmy more than Reddit even though I only spent like 20 minutes here. Might be because I only ever used Reddit's official website and app (so never really touching 3rd party apps)

Yup first time here. Have heard of it and looked into joining Lemmy maybe you a year ago (probably due to some reddit bs) but decided not to. Took the plunge now and perhaps will take a peek at Mastodon at some point. Though I never used twitter so I don't care that much.

Technically, I have used mastodon, but for at most 10 minutes. Lemmy is the first fediverse app I use daily.

I tried Mastodon for like 10 minutes and then remembered I don't like Twitter, so why should I be on Mastodon.

How would you use Mastodon to comment on Lemmy posts?

I've tried Mastodon when Musk bought Twitter but I didn't enjoyed it much... I found a lot of polarization and there was not much engagement by the community, so I left after a while. On Lemmy I'm experiencing a whole different experience and I'm enjoying it just like Reddit! Hope more people come and stay

This is my first entry into the fediverse. I'd heard about Mastodon, but I never really got Twitter, so didn't look into it more.

I already used Mastodon. In fact, I never used Reddit, but Lemmy was mentioned in some comnents in news related to it. Since I also never really used Twitter but liked Mastodon, I figured I'll give it a try.

I like it so far, it works well enough for me. Time will tell how it goes later, it's only been a few days.

I know you cán post from your Mastodon account, but I still made a new acount for Lemmy. Partly because it's easier. I can't login to Jerboa with my Mastodon account (I did try), and Tusky isn't really made for Reddit like content. Also partly because I like seperation. I don't want my social media any more spagetti-like than my code (and I don't write spagetti code). Heck, I even have 3 different Mastodon accounts with different purposes because of that.

Yeah i tried mastodon but never really used it

I think that Lemmy is way better, really an amazing project

I tried mastodon but I didnt understand it. Lemmy is my first experience with Fediverse where I understand how it works, kind of.

Yep, first time stepping into the fediverse, enjoying it so far but still trying to get my head around it. Also hoping that decent apps start to appear, which I would be willing to subscribe to if they had active development.

I'm a light user of Mastodon.

I created accounts on both lemmy and mastodon. I've found that I spend most of my time on lemmy, though I do find that mastodon has several good news aggregation communities that I follow. Like many other new users I'm hoping that future improvements allow for the ability to combine similar community content across multiple instances into a single feed, though I also see the advantage of keeping them separate in order to allow for different trains of thought.

Yeah, this is my first. So far, it's been interesting. I don't understand the link between all of the other systems though (Mastodon, Kbin, etc).

I'm using a kbin based fediverse, but beyond a brief stint on Mastodon when that was trendy, this is my first real time being on anything fediverse-related.

My first (yet extremely good) Fediverse experience has been on Mastodon.uno

this is my first!

I tried out mastodon once, but since I really didn’t spend much time on twitter in the first place, I really didn’t use it at all. But apart from that short endeavor, this is my first time.

I dabbled a little in Mastodon, but never really got off the ground with it.

I used Mastodon, but ultimately lost interest. It's been a long time since I've visited Twitter on a regular basis, and there is really no gap for Mastodon to exist in my personal life.

I've played with Mastadon a bit in the past but not much. I didn't know you could comment with that account. Interesting...

Mastodon is my first love. Lemmy I only ventured into recently because of the Reddit drama.

I tried looking at mastodon after Twitter, but never really got into it. Trying Lemmy now and have already gotten further by making an account lol. Might go back and look at mastodon too once I get my feet under me

this is at least the first time I invested a significant amount of time in it.

But I used a couple of federated services before that are not part of "the fediverse" and I really like the idea. I used XMPP back in the day and I use Matrix from time to time. I just don't have any friends who use it.

I went to Mastodon first, about the same time Twitter officially went into Musk's ownership. I've only looked at Twitter to find fellow refugees from the friends I was following there, but quickly gave up - some people moved over and I was able to follow them, but most went elsewhere from Twitter (mostly Cohost or Itaku) or just remained on Twitter because "that's where the audience is". But I've been happy on the fediverse - I've found that my corner of it has been a lot less about 'drama' and more about sharing personal experiences or news. It's nice!

This whole Reddit thing has been my first look at the 'threadiverse' as some have called it. I'm looking at kbin specifically if I end up setting up an instance for my community, but I'm all in on this decentralised social media now, and I really want it to win out.

Rest in peace niu.moe, you shall be missed.
