If you recently moved to Lemmy from Reddit, have you dipped your toes in any other Fedi services? (self.newzealand)

I had heard about Mastodon and was aware of the concept of federated platforms. This is the first fedi service that I signed up for and I was very surprised at how easy it was and how optimistic the vibe was. Afterwards I decided to check out Mastodon, Pixelfed and Matrix. I found this cool website that tracks users accross the different instances and services https://fedidb.org/ I'm blown away by the growth of Lemmy.

The New Zealand community feels very small and tightknit on these platforms. I have never been a social media person so I do not know what to post.

Have you branched out to any other platforms? If so whats your experience been like compared to the alternative services?

What are some interesting people/instances to follow on Mastodon/pixelfed? I am interested in people who work on projects and document their progress and show off things they made. Also cute pets.

Haha I do have some stuff running on a Raspberry Pi, but not this, just stuff for me and some family.

I started running lemmy.nz on a $2/month VPS (which was surprising much snappier than the Raspberry Pi) but quickly got an offer for a much more powerful server, so couldn't turn it down.
