On average if I make a post on Mastodon whether I get a comment, and a continued conversation is either hit or miss.

On Lemy if I make a post it's almost insane the probalility of actual comments, conversation and discusion with many users that can occur in a single post compared to Mastodon.

Is this because of the communities on Lemy making things more seamless and simple to find content I might want to consume and discuss as a user? Because say I join a Mastodon server, nothings really organized by topics or anything. Sure there are hashtags but, the user would have to know to search a specific hashtag and there's the chance of even missing somes post that may be related even if the topic is similar to a hashtag searched for.

Who knows, what are Lemy users thoughts on this?

I know one thing, if you can make a good platform, then you can get great conversations in anything that people are interested in. It seems to me Lemy is the best at this for most users. While on Mastodon, while i'm not saying I hadn't had people comment on my posts, it seems less likely then Lemmy. I don't think I made a single post where no one has commented atleast something on Lemy.

It's lagging behind in terms of adoption, but it's a better platform.
