Old man yells at clouds is a famous joke from The Simpsons, and it probably fairly describes what we do when venting on social media.
Just speaking into the void, since there’s no particular way to improve things through discussion these days anyway.
@jpm
Think of Lemmy as being just a different Mastodon client that happens to display things to their users with a different skin.
You interact with content on a Lemmy instance the same way as you interact with content on a different Mastodon instance.
(Technically they’re both ActivityPub clients, for the more correct terminology)
There do seem to be some kinks to iron out between the clients, though. The ! thing might be one where they disagree on how to handle it.
