Well I started using Lemmy in early June, so that was a change.

Don't really see many people there chatting in Lemmy threads so that's not a noticeable difference. Really the only thing is that some of the ex-Redditors decided to go with Mastodon instead so between them and the new Twitter meltdown at the same time we had a decent amount of new people.

Mastodon is, for the most part, pretty good about educating new users on the culture but obviously for it to stay that way we all need to take part in it, so one weekend in particular I was basically hopping between answering "how do I find communities?" threads on here and "why should I bother with content warnings and alt text?" threads on there for two days straight!

People have mostly settled in both places now, though.
