@LianaBrooks Before I found the Fediverse, I had never been a social media user (save Reddit) – no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, no nuthin'. Mastodon, and later Pixelfed and Lemmy, turned out to be everything I wanted social media to be, and nothing that kept me away from the others. Mastodon is my main social media, and it works great for me, and federation makes it easy to follow all kinds of accounts.
