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 having the conversation organized around topics instead of people
This. If you like to follow people (Twitter-style) then Mastodon is the right tool for you. If you are focused on topics and don’t care much who supplies the content (Reddit-style) then Lemmy is what you want.
Well that effectively and succinctly summed up my general distaste for Twitter and Twitter-alikes.
I agree as I generally don’t care about individuals opinions. I prefer to follow topics rather than people.
You can follow hash tags on Mastodon tho
This.
