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’d messed around with Mastodon, but Twitter was never my thing so it didn’t really stick. Lemmy is the first Fediverse thing that will likely see a lot of use from me.
This is my story as well. I follow a few accounts on Mastadon, but I find it much easier to connect with Lemmy. I joined Maston during the height of the Twitter crisis, and Lemmy earlier this week during the Reddit crisis.
Same thing here. Twitter has always sucked and has been intolerable the last few years. Lemmy feels like Reddit from back in the day.
I was never really into the idea of twitter and I really only lurk on a couple of people’s twitter accounts but the idea of reddit is good for me because I can find a community of people who like similar things as me easily and see what’s been popular. It’s also a decent news feed on the side.
Same here. Mastodon didn’t stick, same with Twitter. Much more of a Reddit user so I expect to be more of a Lemmy user.
Me too. Lemmy seems like a promising alternative
In the same boat, looking forward to seeing the interfaces develop a bit for Lemmy, I haven’t found many app alternatives
