Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

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?

I think that Reddit style forums are better suited for the fediverse anyway. Reminds me of the old internet of IRC/Usenet and eventually vBulletin/Xenforo days when I was growing up.

Twitter and by extension Mastadon I think suffers from smaller communities since the point of those apps is to blast your thoughts and opinions to as many people as possible while Reddit/Lemmy is more for conversation.
