From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

I always hated the Twitter format, so Mastodon never appealed to me in the first place

Yeah agree, I keep trying it myself but its just weird in its layout. Just recently found this webclient, phanpy, that at least puts the longer posts together in a thread. Game-changer, but I am still not sure why the character limit still exists. Also no sorting options of incoming content or am I missing something? I guess it just doesn't work that way.

Wow phanpy is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I am similar. I tolerated the Twitter style user interface but never used it a whole lot and so therefore my mastodon interactions were limited. Since i have been on Lemmy, total game-changer imo. I have thunder as a swipe directly from my home screen and use it quite often.
