Mastodon or Lemmy

Samantha E Xavia@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 79 points –

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.

I guess I did follow people on Twitter, I had friends there....then Musk made it weird...

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.
