MODERATORS
I believe it's how the data is structured.
Lemmy is focused on themes and topics, with the "user" not being the focus (you can't even follow a user on Lemmy).
That's reversed on Mastodon, with focus on the users you follow, and the topics (hashtags, groups, etc) being optional.
For some people, Lemmy is better, for others, Mastodon or other microblog platform. The fact that both can exist in the same network is magical to me.
@Jedi Agreed! Am I on Mastodon or Lemmy when I read and replied to this thread? Doesn’t matter :D
