Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon? (lemmy.ml)

From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

Why is a smaller community more fun than a bigger community?

Because the difficulty of not offending people increases as the number and cultural range of people changes.

A small group is easier to get comfortable with than a larger group.

I think it depends on the instance you're using. The one I'm on is very active. 🤷
