this is the most alive of all the fediverse projects. Not without its problems, but I have absolutely no reason to use reddit anymore.
Mastodon is more active but Lemmy is super fun and growing.
Mastodon keeps getting big injections of new users because Musk is a stupid man baby and keeps pushing users away.
Lemmy, post Reddit protests, is now dependent on word of mouth.
Mastodon feels much less diverse to me, everyone is discussing their sexuality and what Cory Doctorow just said, on Lemmy you get a much broader range of topics
follow more people, yo. You GOTS to follow liberally, click more diverse hashtags and follow them too! My feed is super gay, very POC, and a blast!
It’s been the same experience with everyone I talked to (that I knew personally before they joined Mastodon). We follow different people.
we do! Check out #BlackMastodon and any of the queer and trans hashtags. And definitely follow Lisa Melton, she’s the reblog queen and you’ll discover tons of people through her posts and reblogs @lisamelton@mastodon.social
love following you on mastodon and you’ve been a great part of discovery!
