I’ve gone ahead and made accounts on all of these services: lemmy, kbin, mastodon
Whichever interface I enjoy the most will likely be the main one I keep using for commenting/etc
this whole fediverse thing is pretty exciting and reminds me of old reddit, in a good way
Okay thanks. I’ll try to find out more
