Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Yep! Somehow Mastodon seemed too confusing to me, but this was somehow more straight forward. I didn't realize that all the instances interact with one another, and the decision to choose one on Mastodon was too daunting.

Yeah, I knew about Mastodon, but not Lemmy. So I kept trying to sub to sub to Lemmy communities, but all I saw were peoples comments from those communities instead. It seems like Mastodon is more like a Twitter format and Lemmy is more familiar to me as its format is similar to Reddit's.
