I’m pretty new to the whole Lemmy thing, but I figured I’d ask peoples’ opinions on whether it’s worth it to get into Mastodon too now that I’m officially a member of the Fediverse.

Is it active? Is it worth it? Have you had good experiences there?

    It definitely is worth it. In terms of the number of users, it certainly cannot be compared with Twitter. Measured in terms of interaction, meaningful exchange and a nice community, it is worlds better than Twitter.

    There are topic-oriented instances, e.g. for cybersecurity (https://infosec.exchange/). But of course you can follow people from other instances through the federation. The advantage of topic-oriented instances is that you have a local timeline on which all posts of your instance appear.
