Yeah, I knew about mastodon and stuff before but never made an account or checked it out much. Now I get it lol.

Iโve been on Mastodon for a little less than a year. It was never really my thing. I like Lemmy much more!
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

Yes it is. While I'd heard of Mastodon in the context of Elon's Twitter dumpster fire, I had no idea it was federated or what the fediverse was. I like it so far, with the obvious caveats that there's plenty of room for improvement. I'm hoping to learn more about how the platform works technically so that I can contribute a bit.
Yeah i tried mastodon but never really used it
I think that Lemmy is way better, really an amazing project
I've tried it out before but never seriously attempted to engage with it. I'm intending on using the downtime of the Reddit blackout, and the recent spike in interest, to give it a fair go and see.
I was unaware of being able to comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account.
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 tried mastodon but I didnt understand it. Lemmy is my first experience with Fediverse where I understand how it works, kind of.
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

Friendica was actually the first time I was exposed to the Fediverse like a decade ago but I didn't use it because what are friends. Back then I still had a Facebook lol. It wasn't until recently that I officially joined Mastodon first. I honestly wish I hadn't waited as long as I did (same with using Linux). But now, I'm not looking back.
