It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

Is there a need to have a lemmy and Mastodon?

[–] bamboo@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Theoretically they're somewhat interoperable but if you plan on using both you'll probably have a better experience having an account on an instance of each service.

[–] KrisND@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think that's what I'm gonna do. I wanna try it out, I haven't used any popular social network in years though.

From what I heard mastodon is formatted more like twitter whereas lemmy is more like reddit.

[–] ultrasquid@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

You could use only one, but browsing lemmy through mastodon (and vice versa) isn't a great experience, so its recommended to have an account on both.

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you want just one account to experience both, use kbin.

I'm gonna give that a try and see, before I spend time making an account. Thanks for the recommendation!
