I’m just not sure the two use cases meld very well. Mastodon tends to be “reply and fly”, whereas Lemmy can get into discussions.
I don’t know why that is. Maybe it’s the twitter character limit that’s been baked into people even though it’s not a thing on mastodon (might depend on instance).

It’s because they are simply built for different things, Mastodon for microblogging and Lemmy/Piefied for forum type discussions. Nested threads don’t exist in Mastodon, so it’s hard to have a back-and-forth exchange without it looking like a mess.

I kind of see Mastodon as a place for announcements or invitations to see something elsewhere, like Lemmy or some other random websites.
