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?

    Lemmy format allows having an actual dialogue

    It’s great for seeing existing dialogue, but I think it falls short for long term discussion between more than two people.

    On a non-threaded board (e.g. forums, github issues) you can watch a thread you’re interested in. On Lemmy/reddit you only get notifications for direct responses to your comments.

    I think some sort of option to watch/unwatch whole subtrees of comments would help a lot.
