Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

    Just as i thought i understand it, you confused me again. How can Mastodon users participate here?

      I don’t know in a “what to click sense”, but lemmy and mastodon differ from reddit and Twitter in that they’re open source running on open standards. There’s no proprietary walled garden to protect.

      The underlying protocol is called activitypub. Think of lemmy and mastodon as different interfaces for viewing the same data.
