Comments on Mastodon tag the users in the thread while comments in Lemmy somehow work without this. Comments on Lemmy are for everyone while replies on Mastodon are only shown to followers of the OP.

I find all the added Mastodon cruft in Lemmy posts annoying. The added @ tags take up space and turn into pointless links, and hashtags disrupt the flow of reading. Beyond that, they're different forms of communication with different purposes. Just use both pieces of software for their intended use. I have both Mastodon and Lemmy accounts.
