How's everyone doing without reddit?
Not bad at all - for me, this is just as good as reddit, and there are already quite a few people here.
I keep opening Sync by accident.
Sync++
Frankly, I haven’t missed it. The Lemmy keeps me busy (you all almost woke up to 10,000 Tuesday SOTD posts this morning, good thing I caught that bug at midnight last night), and I have the Mastodon. Everything else on Reddit I was doing was just random mindless scrolling.
How does Mastodon interact with lemmy? Still a little confused on that front.
So Lemmy and Mastodon interact with each other the same way they interact between their own instances: the ActivityPub protocol. Lemmy is geared towards Reddit-style usage and Mastodon is more similar to Twitter but ultimately both of them have users/posts/replies. Similarly, Pixelfed focuses on images more like Instagram and Peertube is more Youtube like. They all still use the same underlying mechanism, just providing a different view onto the users/posts/replies.
This comment was super helpful. Thank you!
Gotcha, thanks!
I'm alright. I'm Joined on a bunch of subs, but only visit a handful regularly throughout the day. It'll be good to branch out from reddit. I spend too much time mindlessly scrolling there.
Same. I keep opening Sync by accident. Hopefully this place (lemmy in general) gets more popular, this generating more content.
Moderating the sub I'm a moderator at have been a breeze the last couple of days :P
Fine, honestly. There are other sites I miss more, and that disappeared for stupider reasons. Thinking of looking into Pixelfed, even though I was ever a user of instagram.
