Taking some getting used to but it reminds me of very old school Reddit in a lot of ways. Feels good so far.

Lemmy is not my first time on the fediverse, nor is this my first time on Lemmy. I got my start with Mastodon a few years ago and slowly lost interest. A few months ago I found out about CalcKey and joined an instance of that. Now with the reddit situation I have ended up also joining the Lemmy server run by the same people who run the CalcKey instance I'm on (I've got the same username on both CalcKey and here on Lemmy)
No, but I only start using #fediverse at the end of last year and not until late february I actively posting there. This is my first time using lemmy though, I end up making new account because from my experience, it is better using different account for different segment of fediverse.
My first experience with the Fediverse was Mastodon, and my second was PeerTube. Having interconnectedness between the different platforms, like Mastodon and Lemmy, is interesting, but also a little confusing with how it all works, so I just use the individual platforms directly instead.
I used Twitter to follow people I knew in real life. I use Reddit anonymously to follow topics. I'm planning to do the same here, but it's nice having the option to comment on content directly.
Maybe now we won't have as many posts with screenshot nesting dolls
First time for me but I actually knew about it since a bunch of people moved from Twitter to Mastodon.
Just joined today, and definitely first experience. So far, it SEEMS pretty straightforward. Kinda waiting for the gotcha that trips me up.
This is my first Fediverse, unless XMPP counts, but I never used that across multiple instances.
I curious to see what happens with "duplicate" communities across instance, for example there are a number of "3D Printing" communities. Will one eventually become dominant and the others die off? Or what happens when the admins of one server decide not to continue running it? Will there be a way to migrate accounts and communities between servers?
I've tried lemmy before, but it wasn't active enough to merit sticking with at the time. It was pretty early on.
I gave mastadon a shot, but I hated twitter to begin with, and mastadon functions about the same, though with fewer assholes.
The difference between the practically dead lemmy I tried back then, and the better developed one now makes me really regret not having given it more effort
Lemmy is my first
I love the idea, I hope it grows in popularity
I wasn't aware of that when I first signed up, but a few days in I learned that
