I hear you. I just described Mastodon to my partner the other day as better than Twitter for my serious side but there is not a lot of light hearted fun to be had here :D and the breaking news aspect of twitter is also nowhere to be found, sadly. It’s still very niche and stuff like that doesn’t help
Lemmy from Motörhead is the only other Lemmy I ever knew. Therefore, it was clear to me, that the name our our new home is a homage to the god of rock & roll and whisky.
