This is my first venture into the fediverse. Confusing at first, but all the guides are helpful. I'm still unsure how to subscribe to communities I'm interested in

Mastodon is my first love. Lemmy I only ventured into recently because of the Reddit drama.
I used Mastodon, but ultimately lost interest. It's been a long time since I've visited Twitter on a regular basis, and there is really no gap for Mastodon to exist in my personal life.

Just joined today, and definitely first experience. So far, it SEEMS pretty straightforward. Kinda waiting for the gotcha that trips me up.
I've played with Mastadon a bit in the past but not much. I didn't know you could comment with that account. Interesting...
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.
been lurkin around the fediverse for years, but only recently found lemmy. nice change of pace, never liked the microblogging format so masto never kept me.
Yes it is the first time. Iโm liking it. Iโve never tried Mastodon as I was never into Twitter and the two seemed similar.
I think that Reddit style forums are better suited for the fediverse anyway. Reminds me of the old internet of IRC/Usenet and eventually vBulletin/Xenforo days when I was growing up.
Twitter and by extension Mastadon I think suffers from smaller communities since the point of those apps is to blast your thoughts and opinions to as many people as possible while Reddit/Lemmy is more for conversation.
Is there an app for lemmy? It seems to work well in mobile browsing but dont like leaving tabs like this just open..im lazy..
I'm trying out an app called Jerboa for Lemmy on Android, it's okay so far. Better than using a browser most of the time.
+1 for Jerboa. Seems to be working well for me so far. A few odd bugs here and there, but I'm sure they'll be squashed soon.

My first experience with the Fediverse was Mastodon, and my second was PeerTube. Having interconnectedness between the different platforms, like Mastodon and Lemmy, is interesting, but also a little confusing with how it all works, so I just use the individual platforms directly instead.
I used Twitter to follow people I knew in real life. I use Reddit anonymously to follow topics. I'm planning to do the same here, but it's nice having the option to comment on content directly.
Maybe now we won't have as many posts with screenshot nesting dolls
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 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.
I created a Mastodon account awhile back but wasn't active for long. I noticed a mastodon user commenting on a Lemmy post earlier today and honestly that confuses me.
I can wrap my head around there being various Lemmy instances that communicate with each other, but other platforms communicating? I haven't quite grasped that yet
