Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have fully transitioned to using Lemmy and Mastodon right when third party apps weren't allowed on Spez's place anymore, so I don't know how it is over there anymore.

What do you use? Are you still switching between the two, essentially dualbooting?

What other social media do you use? How do you feel about Fediverse social media platforms in general?

(I'm sorry if I'm the 100th person to ask this on here...)

No idea on Mastodon myself. I've heard a couple interviews of the developer, seems like a cool guy. But thats about all i can say.

I's playing round with this instance and community finder the other night, works really well. Might be useful to find a more active community that you'll enjoy.

Mastodon is single developer? 🤔

And thanks for the list, a question I should post on “no stupid questions “ I need to create a new account on every instance I want to explore, right? This is a rabbit hole inside a rabbit hole 😂

Mastodon is single developer

I think he has a few people with him now. But i listened to the interview at the start of the year, so i'm starting to the detail.

Exploring instances should be as easy as looking up any other website. At least to get their 'local' front page. Or just navigate to them through that link above.

As an example you could look up jlai.lu, a french instance. They're pretty active.

Didn’t know about that, now I’m gonna research it. And thanks!

So, further to mu previous comment, no you shouldn't need to create an account on each instance you want to explore. At best creating an account on the instance might make navigability better.
