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?
First time using this. I'm trying to figure out what the difference between this "fediverse" and just another instance like Mediawiki. How are these instances "interconnected"? And how are these instances independant?
