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

    Notifications are also more reddit-ish, only pinging the direct parent post/reply author, without bothering the whole thread, and people can go back to the thread for updates.

    Navigation of comments is also better. So it’s easier to just post a simple joke, a quick comment, etc, and not accidentally annoy 50 different people.

    And like reddit the post is treated as part of a community instead of a specific person’s timeline, which extends to how comments are treated too.
