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?

I created a Mastodon account awhile back but wasn't active for long. I noticed a mastodon user commenting on a Lemmy post earlier today and honestly that confuses me.

I can wrap my head around there being various Lemmy instances that communicate with each other, but other platforms communicating? I haven't quite grasped that yet

It confused me, too! I've had a couple Mastodon accounts for a while, and am active on them, and now I have a Lemmy account! We will eventually understand the Fediverse completely (you probably, but not dumb ol me lol)
