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’ve used Matrix before, but the communities that I frequent for chatting didn’t use it and it would be near impossible to convince people to move to it. Lemmy seems nearly perfect for fediverse as what it’s based off was sub-communities that are centralised. It’s the same, just decentralised now. So far it’s been positive, but there’s some a few teething issues with servers not being able to withstand the traffic, the community is going to need to work something out to prevent that somehow.
