It’s crazy isn’t it? Six months in and Mastodon still hasn’t clicked for me, but six days here and I know I’m not going back to Reddit.
My sentiments exactly! It feels like Lemmy is exploding. But like, a good explosion.

Same boat. But Twitter wasn't really my kind of social media anyway, maybe that's why Mastodon hasn't locked in?
It's the voting system that does it imo. When everyone just shouts random thoughts into the void hoping it goes viral the overall quality tends to be low. It makes for a decent RSS feed, but so do RSS feeds.
Twitter's only purpose is for blue checkmarks to scream into the void, but why do that when you can watch more fun versions of blue checkmarks shitpost on Lemmy instead?
Yeah it took me a couple of tries before I got Twitter, so I’ve been sticking with Mastodon so far. This might well be what I was looking for all along though.
twitter is way more useful for following people or groups for news/updates than posting comments and forming communities
like a secondary social media platform you can link elsewhere
Yeah, I never had a Twitter, and when I tried mastodon I got visually assaulted by a full screen picture of a wang, so I'm good here.
Does mastodon have anything else going on besides Twitter type stuff?
Same here. Mastodon is nice, but never felt as good as Lemmy for me. Additionally the content here is much more interesting for me.
