Honestly, I had totally given up on the idea of "social network". Didn't know something federated called "Fediverse" existed. I joined Nostr 2 months ago and it was not bad (if we ignore mostly bitcoin posts). So I joined Mastodon, the client was super smooth. Then I researched about Fediverse more and then tried Lemmy. The variety of clients and their customisation and stability is top class. Loving it since then.
