@gpollara On reddit/kbin threads all the submissions are separate per topic (subreddit on reddit, or magazine here on kbin). Inside of those subreddits/magazines people post relevant content to the topic, like a singular topic/question/thing they wanna share. people then respond to it. Imagine you have a single hashtag for a top-level toot/tweet and you post a singular topic/idea/question related to that. people then can see it in that topic and response.

With mastodon it’s as you said, where things are based more on the individual (you follow someone and see their stuff or you don’t, and everything’s separate). Basically: lemmy/kbin stuff is categorized by topic, mastodon stuff is categorized by person.
