I’m pretty new to the whole Lemmy thing, but I figured I’d ask peoples’ opinions on whether it’s worth it to get into Mastodon too now that I’m officially a member of the Fediverse.
Is it active? Is it worth it? Have you had good experiences there?

Mastodon is good if you’re after following specific people, rather than just general topics.
I’ve bounced off Twitter and then Mastodon several times because my use for social media is more for link aggregation and discussion, and I don’t really necessarily care about who I’m having a discussion with, but rather that there’s a good discussion about an interesting topic going on.
I know hashtags are a thing and you can follow them, but I’ve kinda found them hard to deal with on Mastodon because everyone puts a giant pile of hashtags on everything so you end up following certain tags and like, maybe 1/3rd of the things that show up in the feed are actually really related to everything that was tagged.
I do run an instance and find it’s useful for certain things, but I very much prefer the Lemmy approach to content.
