Lemmy is the fediverse link-aggregator, like Reddit

Mastodon is the fediverse microblogging platform, like Twitter

On Lemmy you subscribe to communities, but on Mastodon communities are essentially hashtags, so you can also follow users to get updates directly

    Well, there are other microbloging services on the Fediverse. Akkoma. Firefish. Misskey. Or there's Friendica, which has more of a Facebook-like interface and supports groups (eg Lemmy communities).

    Lots of options here in the Fediverse.

    I will look into those thank you wasn’t aware I like Twitter but the recommendations are horrible for posts. That’s why I don’t use it at all I want a Twitter like interface probably will never happen though I despise Facebook the most.

    Perhaps it is me never using twitter, but mastodon felt really easy to use. In contrast to lemmy for example. The only difference it seems it has is that names have @ sign used like in email (as they do work like email, or have accounts on different servers).
