Been using lemmy and really enjoying it. I have a twitter account that does me no good so Mastodon seemed very appealing. I joined an instance, made some posts, tried interacting with a lot of people. . . I dunno. It just never really grabbed me.

I've noticed that content seems to federate on lemmy better than on Mastodon even though lemmy is younger, and I'm under the impression this is true for kbin as well though I don't personally use it. I'd love to hear how you guys feel about it - as an artist the idea of having a blog to share my creations as well as life updates is cool but man it's just so dead

Thing is mastodon is a microblogging alternative to Twitter. Personally what I enjoy about Twitter is the people, keeping up with certain friends. They are not in Mastodon so the experience felt dull.

Lemmy is a link aggregator alternative to Reddit. Personally what I enjoy about Reddit is sharing content and discuss in a more broad way. I don't care to know the people, but the content.

On Mastodon, you follow people. On Lemmy, you follow communities. That's pretty much it. I personally don't dislike Mastodon (I use Pleroma instead), but I think, Lemmy and KBin are just so much more fun.

The fact they all can work together is cool as fuck. I can follow both people and communities, it’s awesome.
