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?
Yes it is. While I’d heard of Mastodon in the context of Elon’s Twitter dumpster fire, I had no idea it was federated or what the fediverse was. I like it so far, with the obvious caveats that there’s plenty of room for improvement. I’m hoping to learn more about how the platform works technically so that I can contribute a bit.
