Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon? (lemmy.ml)

From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

And that's why Reddit is still winning. It's the only big social network that does that (aside from Lemmy). All the other big ones are people-centric (or business or whatever). It's you subscribe to a person. On Reddit and Lemmy you subscribe to a topic.
