In the last few days I’ve jumped into using Lemmy and Mastodon, exciting time to change my internet browsing habits lol
The Andromedus Galacticus Collection
This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.
Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:
- Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
- Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
- Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
- Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.
Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.
So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.
Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?
Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]
I don't think I'd consider Mastaon a rival to Lemmy as much as a companion.
Edit: disregard this post. I mis-read it as saying it was a competitor
Why, so? One is micro-blogging and the other is a link aggregator (+more). Kbin is probably the only direct competitor in the fediverse.
I don't feel Mastadon is as much community driven as much as Lemmy.
Yeah, I mis-read your comment, sorry about that. I've updated my post. I agree with you.
It happens. All good.
Excellent! I hate the Twitter format but still great news! Means there's space for Lemmy to grow too!
How would I go about if I wanted to create a Mastodon account? How to find interesting users to follow?
The entire site is a good resource 👍
Mastodon is super solid. It stays up when everything else seems to fail.
I never bothered to sign up for Twitter, mostly because I never felt like I had anything to say. But I want to sign up for Mastodon because I like the concept. What are people using it for if they are not people with followers/fans?
Honestly, I feel like what I'm doing here would have been better suited for something like Mastodon, but like you, I have never used Twitter so it didn't even cross my mind until after I made it. Maybe you can replicate this, or even just use it to follow news
