Thats sounds fair. I wanna network and connect with people in the SaaS industry, any recommendations?

    For networking mastodon side of fediverse would be better for it. There you can follow, and talk with individuals. Not the hive mind of a community.

    Technically you can talk from lemmy to mastodon, but it's better to make a mastodon account.

    I've recently jumped onto masto as well. It is far more effective for networking. Its horrible as a news/current affairs feed.

    I find Lemmy and Masto complement each other well.

    Piefed is supposed to be one that brings the two forms of presentation (lemmy style and masto style) together but you'd have to ask a piefed person how effective or useful that is.

    I've tried Pixelfed as well, really nice people there. Lemmy is full of cynical bastards (like me), Masto seems full of really motivated and productive people, but Pixellfed I found only genuinely nice people.

    On the downside, i found it a bit limited. I suppose because it doesn't really revolve around a social centre (lemmy's all and local feeds) like Lemmy does so I couldn't really orient myself very easily there. Maybe because its feed based and there was only one person I knew a little about there.

    About piefed, it's pretty much lemmy but written in python iirc. Maybe you're thinking about mbin?

    Nah, I's thinking Piefed, but I've never tried it so I've no idea how successful that part was. Obviously by your comment not very 😆

    I don't really know why mbin isn't more popular. I tend to forget about it.

    Hah! I was not aware. I've been on piefed for a year or so now and never noticed any mastodon integration. I guess that could be both because it doesn't work, or because it works really well, but... I'm thinking the former is more likely.

    Counterpoint from my personal opinion: instance doesn't matter, don't assume people have certain views based on that, try to avoid stereotyping or being a dick to anyone, spread acceptance and love to everyone and if someone's a dick to you just block them or ignore and move on. As with Reddit, the strength is in niche communities, and while Lemmy is still obviously way smaller, there are still some great niche communities here if you look for them - just try not to be put off if it turns out to be basically just one person keeping a community alive by posting regularly. Engage! I've actually posted and commented way more here than I ever did on Reddit cos it feels like people actually reply and pay attention to stuff here and the mobile apps are great (boost, sync, etc)
