It's really easy to check out these various Fediverse projects, just go to an instance, don't even have to create an account to check it out. I had Lemmy bookmarked for a long time because it was mentioned as an alternative to Reddit, but never checked it out. I had no idea what ActvityPub was all about and was really wowed by it when I looked into it. It's like, man, I should have got on the Fediverse a long time ago.
Anyway you can access most content from most any platform in the Fediverse to it's just a matter of trying the projects to see what you like the best. I like Lemmy a lot for its interface design, but if you like Kbin better, use that.
I have to admit Lemmy is still a bit rough around the edges as far as browser access, but it works well enough and I expect it will get a better and more feature rich as it matures. I don't use mobile much for internet access myself, but I hope that mobile apps for it can also develop quickly as that will be really important for its adoption.
