Looking for an entry to the Fediverse that's made for a single user. Preferably Reddit/Lemmy-like.
I'm hosting and running a Lemmy just for myself, and am having no problem with it. Lemmy is great. But I'm looking to branch out, and see what else exists out there.

In Mastodon, you follow mostly users, content creators, people (yes, you can follow hashtags, too). You are not interested in open source (a community/topic) in general, rather, you are interested in what particular your favourite developer is currently working on, and so on. You either want both of these worlds, so you make an account on Lemmy to follow topics that interest you within a UI optimized for that. And you create a Mastodon account to follow those specific people.
Alternatively, you use only one platform and follow the content from the other platform, too, but in a UI that is not optimized for such type of content. It all depends on what are you comfortable with and what do you enjoy.

The UX isn't as nice as Lemmy natively is, but I can see comments/posts and reply just like they were Mastodon Toots. If you reply to me, it shows up in Mastodon natively as well.
If you click the little "Fediverse" icon in Lemmy, you'll even get taken to my home Mastodon instance. It's a very cool feature.
