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?
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.
