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.

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'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?

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.

I'm still pretty new, I'm on kbin and what I love so far is I can see content and comment on threads from kbin and Lemmy. I'm still learning the whole fediverse thing, I do have a mastodon account as well but I still don't really understand the connectedness of it all yet.

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

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.

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 had (still have) a Mastodon account, but I could never really get my head round it. Finding Lemmy a lot more intuitive (for all its various quirks). Should maybe try Mastodon again now.

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.

Yes, it is my first time, no, I did not know that and created a Mastodon account separately once I heard of it.

What exactly is "fediverse" anyway?

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.

No. Sometimes i use mastodon.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Been using Matrix for the past year now, so I'm familiar with the concept of federated platforms. Lemmy is just a natural next step to replace Reddit. =)
