Does Mastodon bring anything of value to a Lemmy user? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

As far as I can tell from my venture into Mastodon's feeds, the demographics of that part of Fediverse isn't that different from what Lemmy has: the same political takes, FOSS stuff, "big corpos bad", etc.

I wonder, is there anything that Mastodon excels at that Lemmy just doesn't provide? For example, I noticed that there are game developers and artists posting their stuff on Mastodon. Not many game developers (or any creatives, really) on Lemmy though.

Tumblr is its own thing though, and it isn’t going to be 1:1 with lemmy/piefed or Mastodon. The use case just isn’t close enough.

Fediverse has a Tumblr alternative nowadays - wafrn. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the culture there is much more different from both Mastodon and Lemmy. More chaotic and creative, it's really nice to see!

There are fandoms present on Mastodon, mostly anime based.

I'm surprised. My (limited) experience with .social's feed is that it's mostly Very Serious People who are posting, mostly about politics. Maybe I need to dig deeper.
