Asklemmy

Yes it's my first time. I'm a little worried about long term stability of communities and accounts if individuals get tired of hosting servers, but seems like everyone is really nice and invested so far.

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.

Yea first time. Never heard of it. I like it so far. There little stuff that needs to be ironed out, but it's better than serviceable so far and I'm quite enjoying it. Figuring it out.

Rest in peace niu.moe, you shall be missed.

Yes. To put to simple terms, the Reddit refugees moved from "the Reddit" to "a reddit that also interacts with other reddits". You can consider the whole fediverse as a "superreddit"

I use Element (Matrix) to talk to friends and family. I really enjoy the Fediverse, it feels like we're going back to the user owned internet.

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

I've used Mastodon, Calckey, Pixelfed and Bookwyrm and found all of them to be pretty cool. So far I've liked Lemmy and ever since I found out about the frdiverse I've found it's interconnection of so many platforms to be helpful

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.

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?

It's my first time, yeah. I'd never heard of the Fediverse at all until now.

Yep. No idea what I’m doing but I’m happy be involved and it’s fun to learn new things :)

I did try out Mastodon for a while but that never caught on for me. This seems way better. The way Reddit was setup with communities is way more alluring than mastodon is. Amd Lemmy atm is a cleaner, smoother, and smaller version for me of reddit.

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.

Yeah i tried mastodon but never really used it

I think that Lemmy is way better, really an amazing project

I tried mastodon but I didnt understand it. Lemmy is my first experience with Fediverse where I understand how it works, kind of.

I already used Mastodon. In fact, I never used Reddit, but Lemmy was mentioned in some comnents in news related to it. Since I also never really used Twitter but liked Mastodon, I figured I'll give it a try.

I like it so far, it works well enough for me. Time will tell how it goes later, it's only been a few days.

I know you cán post from your Mastodon account, but I still made a new acount for Lemmy. Partly because it's easier. I can't login to Jerboa with my Mastodon account (I did try), and Tusky isn't really made for Reddit like content. Also partly because I like seperation. I don't want my social media any more spagetti-like than my code (and I don't write spagetti code). Heck, I even have 3 different Mastodon accounts with different purposes because of that.

I've tried Mastodon when Musk bought Twitter but I didn't enjoyed it much... I found a lot of polarization and there was not much engagement by the community, so I left after a while. On Lemmy I'm experiencing a whole different experience and I'm enjoying it just like Reddit! Hope more people come and stay

This is my first entry into the fediverse. I'd heard about Mastodon, but I never really got Twitter, so didn't look into it more.

I dabbled a little in Mastodon, but never really got off the ground with it.

I've tried to use Mastodon in the past but for whatever reason I was denied to create account xd

Yup first time here. Have heard of it and looked into joining Lemmy maybe you a year ago (probably due to some reddit bs) but decided not to. Took the plunge now and perhaps will take a peek at Mastodon at some point. Though I never used twitter so I don't care that much.

I had (have) a Mastodon account, but I didn't put in the time and effort to understand the fediverse, so it's just been sitting there. Now, with kbin and lemmy I see the potential and I'm off to explore!

I also like the fact that 'fediverse' is pronounced very similar to 'Faits Divers'. Litterally 'miscellaneous facts', but is used for smaller news items, anecdotes, tidbits of information, ... which seems very appropriate.

Not really, I heard of Mastodon after the Twitter shit that happened but never really used it. Until now and then I actually like Lemmy more than Reddit even though I only spent like 20 minutes here. Might be because I only ever used Reddit's official website and app (so never really touching 3rd party apps)

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

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.
