This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?
Nope. I joined a couple big Mastodon instances, then started running a solo on DigitalOcean. It’s a hobby. I’ll probably give up the self-hosted and continue on a regular Calckey account.
Also played with Pixelfed, and before that all the way back to Matrix/Rocket… and pre-AP good ole diaspora*. Basically, anything but corporate social media. I just don’t like it enough to deal with the bullshit.
I liked Reddit though, but haven’t been on there for more than a year, now.
Lemmy seems pretty cool though. I’m interested in playing with the tech. Seems like a good way to take my Rust skills to the next level.
