    @Xxxthat_emo_kid im replying to this post from mastodon just to see how this works, since I heard you can follow lemmy servers/groups and interact with posts from a mastodon account. but yeah if the sub came back id still browse it if I’m still using reddit by then.

        @murkeyindividual2 I found the URL to the 196 lemmy from the subreddit before it went private. I learned out that you can find lemmy communities through mastodon by typing “@[CommunityName]@[lemmy instance]” into the search bar. The lemmy community shows up as a mastodon user that you and follow and such. It’s very interesting and kind of ingenious. So I thought why not just use my mastodon account I already have rather than make a new account just for lemmy.

            Foundkey (first link) or Akkoma (second link) are services that are compatible with mastodon (ActivityPub, also works with Lemmy), but have more features, like emoji reacts.

        @lazy_digestive right now I am part of a mastodon instance dedicated to the competitive Super Smash Bros community. I am a tournament organizer for Rivals of Aether, which is also a platform fighter (the same genre as Smash). A lot of people who play Rivals came from the Smash community, so it made sense for me to make an account on this instance as its a general community I am part of. I’d say try finding an instance for an online or IRL community you are part of and try to join.

          @lazy_digestive On Mastodon, you have an additional “Local” timeline which is a timeline showing all the posts of the people in your instance. So you can stay connected to people through that. I know a lot of the larger instances can feel impersonal because of their size, and a bunch have turned off signing up for new accounts because of a large amount of people wanting to sign up from the Twitter exodus last year.
