Asklemmy

My first fediverse app is mastodon

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.

well, i tried mastodon for a week but quickly lost interest because i never was interested in twitter-esque services to begin with. lemmy on the other hand is quite more my thing because of many funni forum posts and links

yeah, i did go to mastodon a while ago, but not my cup of tea

I first used Mastodon but I was never one to really "get" or use Twitter either so I haven't actually used it much. This suits my needs far better.

I’ve been using Matrix for some time now (have a dedicated synapse server set up so I can mess around with the bridges and stuff — still haven’t quite gotten the iMessage bridge working, but also haven’t put in a lot of time to it). As soon as I saw the whole thing with Reddit going down, I pretty much immediately stood up a Lemmy instance.

Safe to say, I’m pretty much sold on fediverse platforms.

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.

I've technically used Matrix, but I don't use it for much. This is my first main entry. I never cared about Mastodon that much because I don't Twitter. This Reddit nonsense, though..

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.

Not my first. I also am on Mastodon over at https://infosec.exchange. I far prefer using the Fediverse versions of services, but without critical mass, you can't move away easily imo.

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?

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

I tried mastodon, but I hated it. So far I'm liking this more.

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've had a masto and pixelfed for ages. Was looking for an excuse to choose Lemmy over Reddit and, well, one came up.

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.

Yes. I did try Mastodon during the Twitter fiasco. But the whole fediverse concept seems a little more suited for specific forums like Reddit

I have been on mastodon for a bit, but not really that active in contributing because I don't love the microblogging format. I do consume some pictures and news via it.

Lemmy is definitely more my speed. I've heard you can cross access lemmy from mastodon, but my understanding is the UI is not ideal, so I just also have a separate lemmy account and jerboa to go along with my Mastodon account and fedilab.

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.
