I haven't used Mastodon much but if I'm being optimitistic it feels like the reddit model (anonymous users built around themed communities) lends itself better to the current state of the fediverse than the Twitter model

It largely has to do with their inability to sort. Also, as pointed out to me a couple times, the direct messages on there can be read by the server owner. So I don't want to use it for personal communication. And therefore it's kind of dead to me. If they fix that though, I'd be happy.
I think Twitter is dumb so I never had an "oh shit I also think Elon is dumb and need to leave" moment.
I now definitely relate to what people went through, as Reddit was my single online "social" presence, and I can't in good conscience continue to support them in any way, shape, or form because of the blatant shady attacks against developers.
All that aside, I am super impressed with lemmy (and the fediverse) and kind of bummed it took me until "the big migration" to look into it. I already prefer lemmy 1000% to Reddit after only a couple of days.
I would also MUCH RATHER donate to random cool folk keeping uptime on lemmy instances than, something like, pay reddit monthly for no ads.
Hell I'd rather donate or pay for my own hosting than just give my data/attention span on a greedy corporate platform.
KBIN is pretty dope too :) https://readit.buzz
Mastodon is federated so you can follow your kbin/lemmy from there too - that's the interesting part about all of this.
Whatβs the difference between Lemmy and KBIN? From my short time navigating around KBIN, it looks like much of the content is just linking back to Lemmy communities.
I think it's all just on the Fediverse together? I've heard you can view Lemmy communities from Mastodon, but I'm not a Mastodon user so I'm not sure how to see that.
