If you recently moved to Lemmy from Reddit, have you dipped your toes in any other Fedi services? (lemmy.nz)

I had heard about Mastodon and was aware of the concept of federated platforms. This is the first fedi service that I signed up for and I was very surprised at how easy it was and how optimistic the vibe was. Afterwards I decided to check out Mastodon, Pixelfed and Matrix. I found this cool website that tracks users accross the different instances and services https://fedidb.org/ I'm blown away by the growth of Lemmy.

The New Zealand community feels very small and tightknit on these platforms. I have never been a social media person so I do not know what to post.

Have you branched out to any other platforms? If so whats your experience been like compared to the alternative services?

What are some interesting people/instances to follow on Mastodon/pixelfed? I am interested in people who work on projects and document their progress and show off things they made. Also cute pets.

I’m on mastodon, but since I was never very interested in Twitter either, I don’t use it much. I feel like that a reddit style forum is easier to start using because you don’t have to be “somebody” in order to participate.

Forum style is good because it feels semi anonymous. People dont really care who is making the post/comment they only care for the subject matter.
