It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.
Is there a need to have a lemmy and Mastodon?
Theoretically they're somewhat interoperable but if you plan on using both you'll probably have a better experience having an account on an instance of each service.
Yeah, I think that's what I'm gonna do. I wanna try it out, I haven't used any popular social network in years though.
From what I heard mastodon is formatted more like twitter whereas lemmy is more like reddit.
You could use only one, but browsing lemmy through mastodon (and vice versa) isn't a great experience, so its recommended to have an account on both.
If you want just one account to experience both, use kbin.
I'm gonna give that a try and see, before I spend time making an account. Thanks for the recommendation!
