So... what's the best mastodon server to join as a new user?
3 years ago by archived to c/mastodon
I just downloaded the app to see what's all the hype about, and once again, I'm asked to pick a group, in this case, a server.
I suppose it's like Lemmy instances, so, is there a general one, or an equivalent of lemmy.world in terms of size, interaction, and so on?
My mistake if I'm understanding things wrong, thanks!
Same as you would browse a Lemmy instance.
Etc.
There are multiple apps for Mastodon. The https://join-mastodon.org site should have info on them. Search your app store. Some do multiple Fediverse platforms, but I don't know any that do both Mastodon and Lemmy.
Lemmy login is only valid on your one Lemmy instance. But from Mastodon you can search for a Lemmy community as @<community>@<instance> and follow it like another user. If you @ mention a community in a Mastodon post it will create a new post in the community. And if you reply to a Lemmy post from Mastodon it will show as a comment in the post on Lemmy.
You can look up Mastodon users from Lemmy as https://lemmy.instance/u/user@mastodon.instance. But you can't follow them from Lemmy like you can in Mastodon or Kbin.

So how does one browse mastodon? From within lemmy or their own app, and is the lemmy login valid for mastodon?
