Perhaps it is me never using twitter, but mastodon felt really easy to use. In contrast to lemmy for example. The only difference it seems it has is that names have @ sign used like in email (as they do work like email, or have accounts on different servers).
Yeah I have a kbin account but never use it not a fan of the interface and all the different things like threads, microblog etc just feels like too much being presented needs a more simplified design.
Well, there are other microbloging services on the Fediverse. Akkoma. Firefish. Misskey. Or there’s Friendica, which has more of a Facebook-like interface and supports groups (eg Lemmy communities).
I will look into those thank you wasn’t aware I like Twitter but the recommendations are horrible for posts. That’s why I don’t use it at all I want a Twitter like interface probably will never happen though I despise Facebook the most.
I only use lemmy what is masterdon I know it’s part of the fediverse but what makes it different from lemmy?
Lemmy is the fediverse link-aggregator, like Reddit
Mastodon is the fediverse microblogging platform, like Twitter
On Lemmy you subscribe to communities, but on Mastodon communities are essentially hashtags, so you can also follow users to get updates directly
I see makes sense I tried it but idk the interface just is weird.

Lots of options here in the Fediverse.

Then there’s KBin, which communicates with both.
Then there’s the youtube alternative peertube, which has nothing to do with this conversation. I just wanted to remind people it was there 🥰
