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, sheβs the reblog queen and youβll discover tons of people through her posts and reblogs @lisamelton@mastodon.social
@ren @oldfart Thank you for the recommendation! π
love following you on mastodon and you've been a great part of discovery!
