Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Lemmy is my first

I love the idea, I hope it grows in popularity

I wasn't aware of that when I first signed up, but a few days in I learned that

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.

Just joined today, and definitely first experience. So far, it SEEMS pretty straightforward. Kinda waiting for the gotcha that trips me up.

This is my first Fediverse, unless XMPP counts, but I never used that across multiple instances.

I curious to see what happens with "duplicate" communities across instance, for example there are a number of "3D Printing" communities. Will one eventually become dominant and the others die off? Or what happens when the admins of one server decide not to continue running it? Will there be a way to migrate accounts and communities between servers?

Kinda. Mastodon is fine, but didn't scratch the Twitter itch (which fortunately went away on it's own due to the way Twitter has gone) but this seems good. Reminds me of early days reddit, before the corpos took it.

I tried looking at mastodon after Twitter, but never really got into it. Trying Lemmy now and have already gotten further by making an account lol. Might go back and look at mastodon too once I get my feet under me

I also signed up to Mastodon, mostly to support the digitalcourage.social server, but probably won't be using it a lot. I didn't use Twitter, either, but Reddit. I will probably continue to use /r/flying and /r/synthesizer, as they are so niche that I cannot expect anything comparable here.

I'll have to figure out how to post with Mastodon account on Lemmy.
