Getting the most out of fediverse communities (beehaw.org)

Hey all! recent reddit/twitter transplant and I'm trying to figure out how to get the most out of the fediverse and I really don't know? The lack of centralization is amazing, but it's also a bit overwhelming to try to figure out where people congregate and where to talk to people, especially when lemmy/kbin are so small relative to reddit. For those of you that have been here longer than a few days, how do you tend to engage with the fediverse? Any advice/places to hang out/content to recommend? Thanks!

Calckey looks like it has a really mature ui, which is something that other fediverse stuff seems to struggle with. How inter-operable is it with stuff like mastodon? I understand that's the whole point of the fediverse but I'm curious how well calckey works as like a one-stop shop, as it were. Or if not, what's it primarily useful for?

It’s great for something like mastodon posts since it’s a similar post style. But for deep threaded content like Lemmy, it could use some work.

It’s useful for posting multimedia posts and text posts. You can also create lemmy posts and respond them when they pop up in the feed. But I haven’t been able to “search” for the URL of a specific lemmy thread sadly, just a community.

The features it has basically let you create like a mini site and you can customize the UI as needed for your instance.
