my copyPasta:
wanna join the fediverse?
if not you can still look for other alternatives on r/redditalternatives
Quick Quick start: open https://sh.itjust.works/ and consume the content. (could press on the all button next to the local button for more variety)
For a quicker start i suggest https://sub.rehab or https://browse.feddit.de/ to look out for communities that have your content.
Want an APP?
on Android most use Jerboa for Lemmy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jerboa&hl=de&gl=US
Apple has Mlem https://testflight.apple.com/join/MelFP11Y
If you wanna join lemmy please use a smaller instance like the recommondeed here: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances (simply take on of the recommondeed, makes less of a difference than you think)
When you click on one you go directly to the content without the need for a log in.
Here you can roughly see how lemmy, Kbin, Beehaw and Mastodon are working: https://i.imgur.io/Hoc5dXU_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high
