Serious question: Are Mastadon users just like kbin and Lemmy users, but with a character limit?
You mean, are we a part of the same Fediverse? Yes. I’m actually replying to you right now from my Mastodon account! Still not over how cool that is!
But yeah, there’s a character limit. The instance I’m from is donphan.social. Our character limit is 1,008.
Username checks out. I just checked out that instance because of the name, even though I have no intent of using Mastodon because I never liked Twitter. It’s like the perfect name for a Pokémon-themed Mastodon instance.
I tried Mastodon and failed. Lemmy is different IMO in that you can freely access, write on and read all lemmy communities from any Lemmy instance (and apparently from Mastodon). On Masto you're quite siloed-in, can't follow "local" from a thematic instance with an account on another (and in Lemmy you can follow thematic communities from all around the threadiverse), people won't see your content unless they either actively follow you or read the local/global feed. Curating feed is a necessary effort and not too easy one since you only get to follow individual users.
