Having tried all three, its a stark difference in how much more social Lemmy is comparatively. Its not even close. Almost all posts I've encountered on lemmy have interaction; whereas, more often than not, posts on the other two platforms have no interaction. Wonder what the driving factor is behind this difference?

Microblog.... I just don't care about other people that much. Specific topics are more engaging and interesting.

i care about other people, specifically coders. They are my rock stars. And that's who i want to keep in touch with.

On mastodon, if have something up your sleeve others want to have access to you. I get access to certified, cuz whats that, geniuses. They have the repos, source code, and unittests to prove it!

On lemmy, not so much.

Or riddle me this, how to build relationships on lemmy?

You don't. I head back to Reddit personals for that.

Then to get something out the opportunities the universe is gifting you, all you have to do is turn on that empathy switch and adjust the level up to max.

The issue is all in your head.

You are surrounded by giants, but you don't notice or care.

Force yourself to care.

Find someone tomorrow and magically decide they are now the most important person in your universe moving forward. And you want to keep in touch with them regularly. And you find what they are up to thrilling.

This will be enough to fill your entire lifetime and then some.
