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?
This is my first foray into fediverse things. I also signed up for mastodon today but I never really did Twitter to begin with so I don’t know if I’ll get in there and play much.
I have always done 99% of my random scrolling from my phone ever since phones and mobile internet got a) good enough and b) not cost prohibitive (I remember when it cost $X per Mb of data) but I’m not a huge fan of spending time on a browser but I think it was maybe 30 minutes after I signed up that I found the beta for Mlem and I have been very happy setting up my personal Lemmy experience ever since - following communities, reading resources and comments, etc. I’m happy to see some similar communities to some of the things I liked to scroll on Reddit either already here or being created and I’m sure as long as there’s a level of engagement it’ll continue to be a fun experience.
There is a bit of a learning curve here but it’s not that difficult to wrap my brain around. I’m looking forward to seeing what the fediverse community at large will look like as time passes.
