I like Lemmy a lot, and I liked Reddit before. I never really liked Twitter, just followed some NASA accounts that told what certain probes/landers/rovers were doing. I'm interested in Mastodon because federated platforms seem to sustainably fill the gap the big 5 are trying to enlarge. What kind of content are you guys getting from there?
Lemmy was kind of jarring at first, but extensions like the universal link switcher help a lot. Any stuff like that to help onboarding Mastodon? Thx folks.
Cats. Mastodon has a lot of cats. It's great.
I follow hashtags on Mastodon sort of like how I follow communities on Lemmy, but instead of "content" I get quick thoughts from people. It's different but, as someone who also didn't use Twitter, it's nice to have a space where the barrier to engagement is a bit lower; you need a thought, not a link or discussion, and sometimes that's enough to prompt engagement.
It's more a question of culture imo, not necessarily site design. I've seen a few communities use reddit for microblogging (posting quick half formed thoughts in self post). No reason it couldn't happen on lemmy
