Lemmy more social than Mastodon or Nostr (lemmy.ml)

Having tried all three, its a stark difference in how much more social Lemmy is comparatively. Its not even close. Almost all posts I've encountered on lemmy have interaction; whereas, more often than not, posts on the other two platforms have no interaction. Wonder what the driving factor is behind this difference?

I do have and use Mastodon. But more and more I keep thinking that traditional blogs + rss are a better fit for me.

What's the diff? I have a web site that functions like a traditional blog, offers RSS, but it's an ActivityPub application that participates in the Fediverse. Doesn't that describe every Mastodon-alike?

Longer posts. More control over formating. Easier to post more types of media.

And maybe it's less of a "social" media, and more of a "personal" project.

Maybe it's 90s nostalgia talking, but I miss those cool personal webpages.

Tbh I'm a lot more antisocial here
