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 created both a kbin and lemmy account to see which one I like better but so far I like the UI of lemmy a little better. I find kbin annoying that I can’t easily see my subscribed magazines easily and the mobile web UI is even worse in that I couldn’t find a way to create an account on it initially or navigate anywhere I’d expect to go. Also while I like the idea of the fediverse, right now I’m not liking that while all instances and other fediverse implementations can all interact with each other, I don’t like that they all take a while to sync up and see each others comments on other instances right away, it takes some time (although I suppose it could be due to the mass influx of new users). I’m optimistic that it will grow in the near future given the mass migration, so time will tell
