Yeah, I was confused about why I couldn't post comments, saying I wasn't logged in when I was. It's a quick fix just log out then back in its works great! But it's a bit frustrating tbh.
They are about comparable, once you understand the instances it's pretty straightforward. But I'm ngl, I was confused at first. I'd made my first Mastodon account in 2018! And didn't use it till recently because I didn't understand it for the longest.
I'm so out of touch for being a zoomer. I have just accepted that, lol
