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 think I will understand only what Jerboa makes easy to understand. I mean: there’s a search function so I look for things there. There’s a gaming community, so I suscribe. The frontpage or whatever show me posts from servers (?) I’m not subscribed to, so I will lurk there (like in this instance).
I don’t know if I there’s another way to find communities or “sublemmies” or whatever. Basically I see, I comment, I post, and I hope to find things related to my hobbies.
This is my understanding too. Honestly this has been a good way to get a fresh start. I posted way too much information on Reddit anyway, I like that I can re-anonymize myself a bit here.
