Is lemmy a good start to the Feiverse? or is there more that I'm missing?
Im sorta new to lemmy and i feel like there more than im missing out on?
are there any other platforms and stuff that you will enjoy that you would like to spotlight for beginners like me?

The Fediverse is quite varied, and often the platforms don't all talk to each other well/at all because they're doing different things.
To explain in relation to the alternatives to big media:
Twitter-like - microblogging and following users/hashtags: Mastodon, Misskey etc, Pleroma, etc, etc
Reddit-like - threaded conversation and content aggregation, following communities: Lemmy, mbin (kbin died), PieFed
Youtube-like - video content: PeerTube (or Loops for Tiktok-style short videos)
Instagram-like - sharing photos: Pixelfed
Facebook-like - social media: Friendica (also Diaspora which is like Google+)
Goodreads-like - tracking read books and sharing reviews: Bookwyrm
And more: Funkwhale, Hubzilla, Jitsi, WriteFreely, etc
This is it.
Lol nah but for reals, checkout mastodon for more content. Also, peer tube is sick af. But as some one who was there for the early days of cl, then fark, then digg, then reddit, now Lemmy, it's early days. Be the content you want to see, cus it's very early still.
"Be the content that you want to see" 😍
It depends what format you want. If you want microblogging (Twitter-like) then check out Mastodon or similar
Lemmy is great, PieFed is similarly great
If it feels inactive here on lemmy, you might want to change your settings. I switch in this order if it feels stale on hot:
▪︎hot ▪︎top 6 hours ▪︎scaled ▪︎active
Active is the default, which you can change,, and it seems the least active. If you're really brave, try new.
