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 them for different reasons. Mastodon is somewhere I check on my phone for updates on things I care about, random posts, memes, or interesting topics that make it into my feed.

    Lemmy on the other hand is somewhere I actually hang out. Sure, there are the memes, but there’s more room for in depth discussion here, and I can spend hours here while I usually browse mastodon in minutes. In a way they are both how Twitter and Reddit used to be before they got massively popular and I find it refreshing.

    In the end, I went with kbin because it combines features and integration of the two platforms while having stuff unique to it. I definitely recommend it if you like both platforms.
