I gave Mastodon a small chance a couple weeks ago and just hopped on Lemmy today and I can already tell (at least as of right now) I prefer Lemmy as a platform. I’ll definitely give Mastodon another chance but I just couldn’t really get into it. I think I agree with you on the fact that the content seems to federate better on Lemmy.
Has Reddit usage gone down in the past few weeks since the API change or has it returned to normal?
