Another Reddit refugee here: lemmy makes much more sense to my brain than mastodon ever did. So far, this has huge promise.

Can you point me to the FOSS/Linux community? I'm actually looking for that too.
I'm also new here and I love it! I stopped really interacting with anyone or making content on reddit a few years ago. Federated instances are so much fun. I am inspired again.
Well yeah, Lemmy is to Reddit what Mastodon is to Twitter. Never cared for Twitter pre or post-Elon.
It is a bit numbing to let an indefinite amount of people have "access" to you. I get annoyed whenever I have anyone text me more than once at time. I am not interested in everyone who is aware of my existence, so I hate the attention. Nor am I necessarily interested in every inane thought a person my have even if I really like them.
Still, Mastodon is really good for making friend, so I don't think it benefits me to ignore it completely, but it is foolish to think I will ever find a balance. Like any relationship, strangers or lovers, it is paramount to set up boundaries.
I'm from Mastodon and trying Lemmy to explore more of the fediverse, liking it so far too 😃. My Mastodon feed is almost all politics so I'm liking the different content on here.

Similar. For me it's almost a drop-in replacement for Reddit, while mastodon not really

It’s quite interesting as I think the twitter migration put the focus on mastodon for a while and this place became quieter and then Reddit didn’t want to be left out so the spotlight is now here and kbin. If only Instagram could join the fun pixelfed would get a bump.
The main thing I like about mastodon is the small communities seem to make it easier to have meaningful conversations.
