Asklemmy

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

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

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.

I have a mastodon account but didn't really use it at all.

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

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.

No, I took a whack at it when Google Plus died. There was a bunch of us GPlus expats that had something going for awhile, but it didn't last.

Edit: it was called Pluspora, as I recall.

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.

Yes, I joined Beehaw initially, but eventually settled in Kbin.
So far, it has been a really cozy platform, filled with genuine discussions among real people.

I've tried to use Mastodon in the past but for whatever reason I was denied to create account xd

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?

First time. I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m happy to be here.

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

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)

never heard of lemmy prior to this week - I had heard of mastodon but never really got into either twitter or it. have been looking at some of the other fedi apps, some of them show promise

I have used Fediverse for around 2 years previously, but I have never got used to twitter style posting on Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey and when the actual twitter users started joining it only got worse. Lemmy, on the other hand, seems to be able to have me engaged for a really long time. Mobile web experience has a few problems but I might take the time to actually try fixing them, since I am studying in the field of web dev, and there also are apps for Lemmy

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.

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

I created a Mastodon account awhile back but wasn't active for long. I noticed a mastodon user commenting on a Lemmy post earlier today and honestly that confuses me.

I can wrap my head around there being various Lemmy instances that communicate with each other, but other platforms communicating? I haven't quite grasped that yet

well i used mastodon on multiple instances before this, but i only used it for less than a week each time. so i guess maybe i just don't like sites that are like twitter but i did like mastodon, i just prefer this format more

I've got mastodon since 2019 but I rarely use it, I don't think I found my niche yet. Im not into twitter either, I mostly use Reddit to lurk but most of the subs I follow won't probably have representation here. I think the most constant use of social media I have is Tumblr and I'll continue to use that and Lemmy for now. I know that I can comment from Mastodon but I recently learnt that the instance that I have an account there doesn't federate with many instances and that might be why I add some issues with Mastodon to begin with. I thought that there were bugs with instances just to now understand that it was a choice from the admin.

this is my first!

This is my first foray into fediverse things. I also signed up for mastodon today but I never really did Twitter to begin with so I don’t know if I’ll get in there and play much.

I have always done 99% of my random scrolling from my phone ever since phones and mobile internet got a) good enough and b) not cost prohibitive (I remember when it cost $X per Mb of data) but I’m not a huge fan of spending time on a browser but I think it was maybe 30 minutes after I signed up that I found the beta for Mlem and I have been very happy setting up my personal Lemmy experience ever since - following communities, reading resources and comments, etc. I’m happy to see some similar communities to some of the things I liked to scroll on Reddit either already here or being created and I’m sure as long as there’s a level of engagement it’ll continue to be a fun experience.

There is a bit of a learning curve here but it’s not that difficult to wrap my brain around. I’m looking forward to seeing what the fediverse community at large will look like as time passes.
