let them take baby steps

I'm using the Thunder app to access my lemmy.world account. Is Mastodon also Lemmy? Can I browse lemmy.world and mastodon at the same time? I'm so new and vv confused.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Not really.

They're both fediverse, but one is designed to follow communities, and the other is designed to follow people. A Mastodon user sees a community as a user, and can thus subscribe to it. There's not really a way for a Lemmy user to do the inverse and subscribe to a user.

If you want a platform that does both (can subscribe to both communities and users), check out Kbin.

Shameless self promotion and brands or furries talking infosec.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

If that's the choice, the furries... But I think there's starting to be a lot of legit people on Mastodon, no? I just can't get into the whole following people thing though, it's just all so....public..... [Shuffles back into the dark anonymous safety of Lemmy]

Mastodon but with people and content*

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I wonder if you even know you're on Mastodon right now

[–] testman@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

you think they know?
you think that Instagram users have any idea about what they are getting into?
most of them probably don't even know that Instangram is owned by Meta / Facebook, despite the small logo.

It suits them though
