Asklemmy

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)

well i used mastodon on multiple instances before this, but i only used it for less than a week each time. so i guess maybe i just don't like sites that are like twitter but i did like mastodon, i just prefer this format more

I have my own matrix instance, which I guess is fediverse since I have federation enabled and working. Lemmy will be used a lot more though.

never heard of lemmy prior to this week - I had heard of mastodon but never really got into either twitter or it. have been looking at some of the other fedi apps, some of them show promise

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

I've got mastodon since 2019 but I rarely use it, I don't think I found my niche yet. Im not into twitter either, I mostly use Reddit to lurk but most of the subs I follow won't probably have representation here. I think the most constant use of social media I have is Tumblr and I'll continue to use that and Lemmy for now. I know that I can comment from Mastodon but I recently learnt that the instance that I have an account there doesn't federate with many instances and that might be why I add some issues with Mastodon to begin with. I thought that there were bugs with instances just to now understand that it was a choice from the admin.

Yeah i tried mastodon but never really used it

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

Yes it is. While I'd heard of Mastodon in the context of Elon's Twitter dumpster fire, I had no idea it was federated or what the fediverse was. I like it so far, with the obvious caveats that there's plenty of room for improvement. I'm hoping to learn more about how the platform works technically so that I can contribute a bit.

I've tried it out before but never seriously attempted to engage with it. I'm intending on using the downtime of the Reddit blackout, and the recent spike in interest, to give it a fair go and see.

I was unaware of being able to comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account.

Yep, first time stepping into the fediverse, enjoying it so far but still trying to get my head around it. Also hoping that decent apps start to appear, which I would be willing to subscribe to if they had active development.

I had (still have) a Mastodon account, but I could never really get my head round it. Finding Lemmy a lot more intuitive (for all its various quirks). Should maybe try Mastodon again now.

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.

I'm a light user of Mastodon.

I created accounts on both lemmy and mastodon. I've found that I spend most of my time on lemmy, though I do find that mastodon has several good news aggregation communities that I follow. Like many other new users I'm hoping that future improvements allow for the ability to combine similar community content across multiple instances into a single feed, though I also see the advantage of keeping them separate in order to allow for different trains of thought.

Lemmy is not my first time on the fediverse, nor is this my first time on Lemmy. I got my start with Mastodon a few years ago and slowly lost interest. A few months ago I found out about CalcKey and joined an instance of that. Now with the reddit situation I have ended up also joining the Lemmy server run by the same people who run the CalcKey instance I'm on (I've got the same username on both CalcKey and here on Lemmy)

I tried Diaspora back in the day when it launched. I'm not sure if that counts or not.

I went to Mastodon first, about the same time Twitter officially went into Musk's ownership. I've only looked at Twitter to find fellow refugees from the friends I was following there, but quickly gave up - some people moved over and I was able to follow them, but most went elsewhere from Twitter (mostly Cohost or Itaku) or just remained on Twitter because "that's where the audience is". But I've been happy on the fediverse - I've found that my corner of it has been a lot less about 'drama' and more about sharing personal experiences or news. It's nice!

This whole Reddit thing has been my first look at the 'threadiverse' as some have called it. I'm looking at kbin specifically if I end up setting up an instance for my community, but I'm all in on this decentralised social media now, and I really want it to win out.

No, but the first time i am planning to use it. I created a Mastodon Account but never used it.

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.

First time. Still learning a lot. I kind of like it.

I'm using a kbin based fediverse, but beyond a brief stint on Mastodon when that was trendy, this is my first real time being on anything fediverse-related.

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.

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.

Technically, I have used mastodon, but for at most 10 minutes. Lemmy is the first fediverse app I use daily.

My first (yet extremely good) Fediverse experience has been on Mastodon.uno

No, but I only start using #fediverse at the end of last year and not until late february I actively posting there. This is my first time using lemmy though, I end up making new account because from my experience, it is better using different account for different segment of fediverse.

No, I took a whack at it when Google Plus died. There was a bunch of us GPlus expats that had something going for awhile, but it didn't last.

Edit: it was called Pluspora, as I recall.

I tried out mastodon once, but since I really didn’t spend much time on twitter in the first place, I really didn’t use it at all. But apart from that short endeavor, this is my first time.

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

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.
