Asklemmy

Technically, I have used mastodon, but for at most 10 minutes. Lemmy is the first fediverse app I use daily.

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’ve been on Mastodon for a little less than a year. It was never really my thing. I like Lemmy much more!

No, I took a whack at it when Google Plus died. There was a bunch of us GPlus expats that had something going for awhile, but it didn't last.

Edit: it was called Pluspora, as I recall.

I'm using a kbin based fediverse, but beyond a brief stint on Mastodon when that was trendy, this is my first real time being on anything fediverse-related.

I tried Diaspora back in the day when it launched. I'm not sure if that counts or not.

Yes. To put to simple terms, the Reddit refugees moved from "the Reddit" to "a reddit that also interacts with other reddits". You can consider the whole fediverse as a "superreddit"

Yes it is the first time. I’m liking it. I’ve never tried Mastodon as I was never into Twitter and the two seemed similar.

I went to Mastodon first, about the same time Twitter officially went into Musk's ownership. I've only looked at Twitter to find fellow refugees from the friends I was following there, but quickly gave up - some people moved over and I was able to follow them, but most went elsewhere from Twitter (mostly Cohost or Itaku) or just remained on Twitter because "that's where the audience is". But I've been happy on the fediverse - I've found that my corner of it has been a lot less about 'drama' and more about sharing personal experiences or news. It's nice!

This whole Reddit thing has been my first look at the 'threadiverse' as some have called it. I'm looking at kbin specifically if I end up setting up an instance for my community, but I'm all in on this decentralised social media now, and I really want it to win out.

well i used mastodon on multiple instances before this, but i only used it for less than a week each time. so i guess maybe i just don't like sites that are like twitter but i did like mastodon, i just prefer this format more

Friendica was actually the first time I was exposed to the Fediverse like a decade ago but I didn't use it because what are friends. Back then I still had a Facebook lol. It wasn't until recently that I officially joined Mastodon first. I honestly wish I hadn't waited as long as I did (same with using Linux). But now, I'm not looking back.

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
