On average if I make a post on Mastodon whether I get a comment, and a continued conversation is either hit or miss.
On Lemy if I make a post it’s almost insane the probalility of actual comments, conversation and discusion with many users that can occur in a single post compared to Mastodon.
Is this because of the communities on Lemy making things more seamless and simple to find content I might want to consume and discuss as a user? Because say I join a Mastodon server, nothings really organized by topics or anything. Sure there are hashtags but, the user would have to know to search a specific hashtag and there’s the chance of even missing somes post that may be related even if the topic is similar to a hashtag searched for.
Who knows, what are Lemy users thoughts on this?
I know one thing, if you can make a good platform, then you can get great conversations in anything that people are interested in. It seems to me Lemy is the best at this for most users. While on Mastodon, while i’m not saying I hadn’t had people comment on my posts, it seems less likely then Lemmy. I don’t think I made a single post where no one has commented atleast something on Lemy.
Do I have to re-register to get into it?
You can migrate from your old instance to a new one
How does one do that on here?
To clarify, I was talking about migration on Mastodon. There isn’t a migration option on lemmy yet. I have heard that migration function on lemmy is on the pipeline, though not sure exactly what it would entail (as in whether posts and comments would be migrated or not, since on Mastodon you can migrate with only your followers as far as I know).
if it’s a different instance.
