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?)

    Well, you asked about our preference. As already said, the use case is totally different, so it can be a bit difficult to really compare.

    However, I prefer long form discussions most of the time, which gives me a lemmy preference overall.

    That being said, mastodon is very well developed and supported overall. Switching between the two on my author account is kinda like going from a nice, new sedan (mastodon) to a five year old economy car. Things are smoother on mastodon overall, there’s less bugs, etc that show up to an end user.

      Thank you, this explained it very well. I’ll probably carry on using Lemmy even more than I currently do as I seem to enjoy it more as well as it seems to run very smooth like you said.
