Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

Mastodon feels much less diverse to me, everyone is discussing their sexuality and what Cory Doctorow just said, on Lemmy you get a much broader range of topics

follow more people, yo. You GOTS to follow liberally, click more diverse hashtags and follow them too! My feed is super gay, very POC, and a blast!

It's been the same experience with everyone I talked to (that I knew personally before they joined Mastodon). We follow different people.

we do! Check out #BlackMastodon and any of the queer and trans hashtags. And definitely follow Lisa Melton, she’s the reblog queen and you’ll discover tons of people through her posts and reblogs @[email protected]
