It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.
You can tag a mastodon user in a Lemmy/Piefed-post.
The caveat being that their server has to be connected to your server.
You can’t choose another server to log in. Think about it as email - if you are using Gmail, you can’t log in to your email using Hotmail. You can write emails to users with Hotmail, but the login only works for your own email provider.

thx, this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago.

Welcome! Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions!

@sloelk @big_slap Just for demonstration, I've copied the URL of this post into Mastodon and can instantly interact with it. Hi from Mastodon!
