And while we’re at it, can you guys recommend the best mastodon client?

I frequently read things about mastodon in lemmy and that pique my curiosity. I just want to try it and probably stick with it if my experience is good.

Thanks in advance!

I also didn't use Twitter but wanted to try to get into mastodon. One thing to note is that the official mastodon app currently doesn't allow you to follow hashtags, only people. The FEDILABS app allows you to follow topics by hashtags. Since I'm new I didnt have any people I knew of to follow off the bat, so it was nice to be able to follow #scuba and automagically see a bunch of stuff I care about pop up in my home feed.

The account @feditips@mstdn.social is full of gems like that.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
