Asklemmy

Yes this is my first time and my first comment too :) Glad to be here

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

I tried Mastodon, but Twitter was never my thing anyways, so it didn't really click. This is been a much better experience. I'm quickly getting the hang of how it works.

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 on Matrix and Mastodon for a number of years, but I'm new to Lemmy. Matrix is already better than competitors like Discord, in my opinion. It has a healthy pool of users including several major tech organizations.

I've never been too active on Mastodon for the same reason I never got into Twitter. I just don't enjoy "microblogging," and prefer mediums that are more oriented towards actual conversation. Lemmy does an excellent job in that respect.

Yes, this is my first dip in.

This far it seems promising and near, but with a huge downfall of slow adoption/scale to where many instances are hosted in either un-scalable or unstable environments so some instances go down easily.

Apart from that, though, it's very reminiscent of Web1.0 and early Web2.0 and I like that a lot.

Back when the switch from Twitter to Mastodon was recommended I tried it but didn't really understand how it worked, didn't know how to get to the content I wanted and gave up. This is the first time after that

Just joined my first instance was kinda difficult but finally got my acceptance email excited for this platform and fuck you reddit

Yea I hadnt even heard of the Fediverse before Lemmy. I had kind of heard of mastodon but didn't really know what it was.

First time for me. I had heard about Mastodon when Elon first bought Twitter, but I never liked Twitter so I didn't look into it. I think it's okay so far. Kind of reminds me of old internet, which I miss.

Yes. Actually made this account today, and here are my first impressions: The learning curve is existent, and likely the largest problem with mass adoption. The way communities work is cool, but not easily explained to end users. But now that i see how it works, i like it better. Now we just need the content and community to thrive.

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

This is my first venture into the fediverse. Confusing at first, but all the guides are helpful. I'm still unsure how to subscribe to communities I'm interested in

First time doing anything fediverse related. It took a while to wrap my head around it, but all the reddit drama is helping since people are trying to encourage others to move over and are offering guides/explanations.

Yeah, this is my first. So far, it's been interesting. I don't understand the link between all of the other systems though (Mastodon, Kbin, etc).

I tried out mastodon once, but since I really didn’t spend much time on twitter in the first place, I really didn’t use it at all. But apart from that short endeavor, this is my first time.

Is Matrix considered part of the Fediverse? If so, Matrix would have been my introduction to the Fediverse.

I have used Fediverse for around 2 years previously, but I have never got used to twitter style posting on Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey and when the actual twitter users started joining it only got worse. Lemmy, on the other hand, seems to be able to have me engaged for a really long time. Mobile web experience has a few problems but I might take the time to actually try fixing them, since I am studying in the field of web dev, and there also are apps for Lemmy

been lurkin around the fediverse for years, but only recently found lemmy. nice change of pace, never liked the microblogging format so masto never kept me.

Is there an app for lemmy? It seems to work well in mobile browsing but dont like leaving tabs like this just open..im lazy..

I tried friendica years ago as an alternative to Facebook, back when Facebook was still for connecting with friends and family. But since none of my friends were interested in it, I quickly lost interest myself.

I checked out Mastodon when Musk bought Twitter, even though I never actively used Twitter. I don't use it as social media, I use it for news aggregation.

Lemmy is now the first Fediverse software I actively use and I really like it so far.

I tried looking at mastodon after Twitter, but never really got into it. Trying Lemmy now and have already gotten further by making an account lol. Might go back and look at mastodon too once I get my feet under me

Elon Musk made me jump to Mastodon. Spez made me jump to Lemmy.

I used mastadon a but but never got hooked. Not because of the app but because the Twitter like format is only good if you have interesting people to follow.

I've always preferred the reddit style discussions.

I used Mastodon, but ultimately lost interest. It's been a long time since I've visited Twitter on a regular basis, and there is really no gap for Mastodon to exist in my personal life.

Mastodon was my first, although this feels way more polished for sure. What I liked about Reddit is that you go there for the topics you care about, posted by people you don't care about. Mastodon and most other social media is people you care about, posting things you don't care about. I think I'll stick around here...

Edit: I have also used Matrix, but don't really have anyone to chat with on it... it was tough enough getting some friends and my family on Signal lol
