I think @lemmy @lemmyworld might not get the support Mastodon got because Twitter is more seriously used by some people and needed an urgent alternative whereas Reddit is still primarily used for entertainment

Mastodon is easier to deal with as regardless of which instance you sign up for you are just following other users or picking up on global trends. There is also ONE OFFICIAL mobile app out there to make getting started easy. You just find it in your app store.
Lemmy is a bit of a mess:
Not trying to nit pick but comparing the two, Mastodon has a few things going for it that make adoption much easier
What’s wrong with the name?
lemmy has a higher search hit for “Ian Fraser Kilmister” as it is a common name. Mastodon and Reddit are UNIQUE names. If you ask Google Assistant or Siri “What is lemmy?” you will get that result. Mastodoon has a better / more unique name.
I also just don’t personally like how it sounds, sounds too much like lemming or let me when I hear it out loud.
