I am new to this whole Fediverse stuff. Trying to privatize my life and break away from big tech.

But I have to ask, why are you guys here and not on Reddirt? Where the population us much larger and its basically the same? It appears a few instances dominate this landscape anyway?

Its not like this is unchecked social media, they still moderate these places right? So what’s the benefit?

        Not using Lemmy, but there are other options that can do both thread/Reddit style and microblog/Twitter style like mbin. Personally, I find them so different that I’m happy to stick with different accounts on different sites.

          Not using Lemmy

          I think if you’re looking at a piefed or mbin/kbin community (magazine?) from lemmy you might be able to see replies from mastodon users through the magic of federation (mastodon —> piefed or mbin/kbin —> lemmy), and the other way around, even if mastodon and lemmy can’t directly federate with each other…
