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?

mastodon is like an oasis in a sea of noise.

Concentrate on the signal, not the noise.

Build relationships with people you care about.

The problem with mastodon might turn out to be having a heart lacking in empathy. Need to be able to care enough to want to be associated with someone you admire.

We live amongst rock stars. How can anyone completely miss that?! The problem is neither the platform nor the rock stars.

Don't need a sea of people. Need 10 or 5 or 3. As long as they are rock stars. I count my blessings daily.

It's clearly how approach to using mastodon. Small tweak to your mindset and you can get alot out of the platform.

Dial up a super hero and tell them they are awesome.

Go to pypi

Find packages you like and their maintainers.

Hook up with them and tell them they are awesome, but found a few things that doesn't make sense in the docs. Whatever the approach. You are in!

Do it now.

It'll take all of 5 mins.
