I would like to tell you about LEMMY aka KBIN which is the new "the Mastodon version of Reddit" federated service. I think it's PRETTY NEAT.
First, let me tell you how to get Into Lemmy:
Just go to this website
https://beehaw.org/
and start reading.
That's it! A nice thing about Lemmy is you don't *really* need to be logged in to use it. Since the focus is communities rather than personal feeds you can just click around logged out until you want to comment.
What if you want to comment?
I think the best way to comment on Lemmy is to have an account on one of the Lemmy-frontend instances.
I don't know of a better way to do this right now than to look under "Popular" (not under "Recommended") on https://join-lemmy.org/ . lemmy.blahaj.zone seems like a good default instance for queer shitposters. Alternately, Beehaw itself might be okay to sign up on (tho there's a wait).
Alternately alternately, you CAN post to a Beehaw/Lemmy thread from Mastodon, but it's a little awkward:
@mcc @VamptVo it feels like the time is ripe for an app that fuses lemmy/kbin and mastodon etc into one.
The app manages both accounts for you, gives you options for how to manage and sort your feed or feeds, like an email client with multiple accounts.
Makes cross posting easy.
Maybe even provides a 3rd party service of making it easier to follow other multi-account users: people register + verify multiple accounts, when you follow them, you can easily follow of their all their alts.
