I'm using the Thunder app to access my lemmy.world account. Is Mastodon also Lemmy? Can I browse lemmy.world and mastodon at the same time? I'm so new and vv confused.

Not really.

They're both fediverse, but one is designed to follow communities, and the other is designed to follow people. A Mastodon user sees a community as a user, and can thus subscribe to it. There's not really a way for a Lemmy user to do the inverse and subscribe to a user.

If you want a platform that does both (can subscribe to both communities and users), check out Kbin.

Shameless self promotion and brands or furries talking infosec.

If that's the choice, the furries... But I think there's starting to be a lot of legit people on Mastodon, no? I just can't get into the whole following people thing though, it's just all so....public..... [Shuffles back into the dark anonymous safety of Lemmy]

It's insane how much people actually unironically shill for Meta and Zuckerberg now because Elmo is mad. Fucking Zuckerberg...
