Asklemmy

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

Nope.

I have used federated tools like identi.ca, pump.io and diaspora and I've also have a mastodon account, however I almost never posted to these and I rarely log in and follow everyone. I have accounts because I work closely with federation and want federated social media to succeed but I don't like the twitter format. I have friends which use them but it's just a flood of posts from friends and I love my friends, but they have interests and hobbies which I don't share and I have lots of interests and hobbies they don't share.

I've always enjoyed the interest specific communities much better, I generally don't care who is saying things, I care about what they say and if it's interesting or informative. I love the model of you go to places which are interesting and everyone upvotes and curates a collection of interesting links and posts and then discusses them. I am really glad we now have that for the fediverse. I knew lemmy existed, but never signed up for it until the reddit shenanigans started because, at the end of the day it's social and it needs users to be interesting, now reddit has given lemmy users and for that I'm grateful :)

Yes I didn't even know the fediverse was a thing

Yes it is! Exciting to discover it.

I was never really interested in twitter or similar services, so I pass on Mastodon.

using both Lemmy and mastodon for the first time today. interesting stuff, I'm liking it so far.

Yes. I did try Mastodon during the Twitter fiasco. But the whole fediverse concept seems a little more suited for specific forums like Reddit

I made a Mastodon account a while back after the Twitter nonsense and have used it somewhat, but not as much as say Twitter itself because most of the people I follow haven't joined. And therein lies one of the key problems with this or any Reddit alternative, if people don't join, it won't work. You need users and content both, you can't do it with just one or the other.

I also made a separate Lemmy account as I didn't realize I could use the same for all 3, but oh well. I kind of like having separate accounts for them as that makes more sense to me in my head.

No, I signed up for Mastodon long ago. Didn't get a ton of use out of it, but I posted there occasionally. I've had too many platforms bought out from under me and turned to crap, so the idea of the fetaverse appeals to me. Okay, the fetaverse was invented by Android voice dictation. I invite everyone to come up with their own ideas of what that Greek cheese-based universe might be like. 😆

But I've gotten far more into the Fediverse In the last two or three days then in the previous 59 years. I've set up Lemmy, kbin, and BookWyrm accounts. I know they can all theoretically connect, but I don't know how to do it yet.

Yes it is the first time. I’m liking it. I’ve never tried Mastodon as I was never into Twitter and the two seemed similar.

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’ve been on Mastadon for a while, and have liked it for content that was less mainstream on Twitter. Gave a better way to get more frequent content from folks I wanted to follow over Reddit. Glad to see Lemmy finally gain momentum due to the Reddit drama.

No. Sometimes i use mastodon.

My first fediverse app is mastodon

Mastodon was my first, although this feels way more polished for sure. What I liked about Reddit is that you go there for the topics you care about, posted by people you don't care about. Mastodon and most other social media is people you care about, posting things you don't care about. I think I'll stick around here...

yeah, i did go to mastodon a while ago, but not my cup of tea

I also signed up to Mastodon, mostly to support the digitalcourage.social server, but probably won't be using it a lot. I didn't use Twitter, either, but Reddit. I will probably continue to use /r/flying and /r/synthesizer, as they are so niche that I cannot expect anything comparable here.

I'll have to figure out how to post with Mastodon account on Lemmy.

I have been on mastodon for a bit, but not really that active in contributing because I don't love the microblogging format. I do consume some pictures and news via it.

Lemmy is definitely more my speed. I've heard you can cross access lemmy from mastodon, but my understanding is the UI is not ideal, so I just also have a separate lemmy account and jerboa to go along with my Mastodon account and fedilab.

This is my first toe-in-the-water experience of the Fediverse. To be honest, I'm still trying to understand exactly how it all works, but I'm enjoying myself so far.

What would really make my day would be a RIF -type app, as someone on the road a lot, and only able to view on mobile.

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

Yep, I've heard of Mastadon before. Honestly, I prefer the Nostr model more. I'm kinda worried about the moderation of instances messing things up for Lemmy, but so far enjoying myself.

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

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

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.

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