So I’ve been starting to look further into the Fediverse and using it a lot more than any other part of the internet at this point. I wanna know the reasons why people might prefer Lemmy or Mastodon, I have both but seem to lean towards Lemmy for some reason, but not sure why maybe it’s the simple design and you can find topics a little easier or it might be because I prefer the idea of Reddit over twitter.

Why do you prefer Lemmy? (or mastodon?)

    I like both so I use both. I find myself much less “active” on Lemmy though.

    I find the community aspect of Mastodon to be much better as you get to know people. Less likely to get that on Lemmy in my opinion as it’s content/topic oriented.

      What about Kbin have you tired that as it’s meant to be like a Lemmy + Mastodon mix. Not sure if it is but I’m trying it out now to see if it’s truly worth it. I currently perfer Lemmy.

        I have tried Kbin (before I’d even heard of Lemmy), but because I used Mastodon first, I’m unlikely to use another platform in that kind of way tbh. Maybe I should give it another look.
