Mastodon is experiencing a pretty significant surge in new users today. Probably because of people leaving Reddit and establishing themselves on the #Fediverse.
#Reddit immigrants welcome to open distributed social media! It is a really good idea to create a #Mastodon account in addition to a #kbin or #Lemmy account to enjoy the full suite of capabilities available to you here.
similar for me but the initial push was from incessant Facebook Ads. Started a Mastodon account but the lack of comments limited my use. Kbin feels like the right platform. It can provide Mastodon/ActivityPub posts but also supports comments.
My only unjustified gripe is not all ActivityPub feeds are available here/yet
