How does mastodon work compared to twitter? I keep hearing about it but I'm still trying to figure out lemmy.
In the same way lemmy is like many reddits communicating with eachother; mastodon is comparable to many twitters that can share users and posts with eachother
It's very similar to Twitter, I'd say even more than Lemmy is to Reddit. Mastodon federated like Lemmy but in practice you can follow anyone from any instance. You just need to follow people using @username@instance.tld rather than just @username
Mastodon "block" is one-way, Twitter is two-way (it blocks the other person seeing your posts if they're logged in).
