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?
Mastodon was my first experiment with federated platforms, but I use that account the same way I used Twitter before: read only. Message board/forum is more my style, and I’m liking Lemmy a lot so far; the underlying concepts (both of federation generally and Lemmy specifically) seem good, and I’m excited to see further refinement.
