Do you guys see a lot of users in lemmy 'subs' I don't know if I'm using it right

Like ok

For every lemmy 'sub' there's like 1 or 2 users maybe 25 at most.

Am i doing something wrong?

How active are you on lemmy? What new content do you look at?

Not very (as you can tell from the delay in my reply). I hang out in Mastodon, mostly. But I'm a responder, not a poster, so my interactions are limited by three amount of content I have to react to.

But that's ok. I don't need a huge social media time sink in my life.

I'm not subscribed to much yet. I browse the general feed; I tend to add stuff organically, rather than go searching for it.

How is mastodon?

Active.

I don't know if it's just older, but there's a lot more traffic on Mastodon. Being a Twitter clone, it's more light material; memes, brief thoughts. People do have conversations, but nothing on the level or depth of Reddit.

There's stuff I've posted on Reddit I wouldn't have posted on Mastodon, if only because of the character limit. But it's great for little one-offs, pictures, etc.

I don't understand why it was said Mastodon and Lemmy are not compatible; I'm using Friendica, Pixelfed, and Mastodon at the same time in Fedilab -- it'd be great to use the same tool to access Lemmy.

I spend most of my time in Mastodon, popping into Lemmy occasionally to see what's up. That's probably more because there's more content at the moment on Mastodon.
