Hello queer friends,
So a few days ago I left reddit and I started looking into the fediverse as an alternative but the more I read the more confused I got XD
So I would like some help please. I did read the "The Queer Guide to Finding a Fediverse Server" which was helpful but I would like more information.
I have come to understand that mastodon, kbin, lemmy and others just work as front ends to the fediverse so it's more personal preference?
I also found bookwyrm and since I have a goodreads account is it a good switch? And how would I go about connecting that to what ever front end I choose?
I have not decided what front end I will use, I know mastodon is the most used one but it's UI feels to much like twitter and I detest twitters UI. I wish there as something like tumblr but Lemmy is the one that is closer to that right even if it's modelled after reddit? Or I might just make it easy for myself and stay here I don't know.
All I know is that I'm currently feeling like the gif of that blond dude with the handlebar moustache saying "WTF".. XD
Also ELI5 because I'm not techy and I have dyslexia. I will probably ask more questions in the comments..
It is a microblogging platform like Mastodon, and is also compatible with Mastodon so people on both sides can communicate.
It can also read Lemmy, for example this thread is at https://blahaj.zone/notes/9gm1zf2t3e (it looks like it is not completely synchronized though).
The Lemmy experience is usable but imo not as much as using Lemmy directly or through an app.
So getting both would be the best option then?
