Based on users yes, but also checkout PieFed. I switched to it a few months back, it's like Lemmy but better. (for me at least)

For OP's purposes they're probably identical.

What makes piefed better than Lemmy?

The main ones for me are

It's got on boarding and de-duplication, on PieFed if I view eg. this post https://piefed.social/post/749818#comment_6102866

It combines/aggregates it with cross-posts/reposts

So I can see it in one place, and see all the comments in one place.

So if you comment there, where will it end up?

Subjectively speaking, after switching to Piefed I feel like "the internet is back".

Engaging conversation, good tools for filtering the front page to your liking, and the audience seems generally speaking more mature. I do expect that to change if the platform grows in size.
