Does Mastodon bring anything of value to a Lemmy user? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

As far as I can tell from my venture into Mastodon's feeds, the demographics of that part of Fediverse isn't that different from what Lemmy has: the same political takes, FOSS stuff, "big corpos bad", etc.

I wonder, is there anything that Mastodon excels at that Lemmy just doesn't provide? For example, I noticed that there are game developers and artists posting their stuff on Mastodon. Not many game developers (or any creatives, really) on Lemmy though.

They can, though. Mbin is integrated somewhat, I'm not sure about others.

    Yeah but most people are on Lemmy so its' lack of integration is what shapes the local culture.

    @catfeeder mastodon has a much larger community, so people that find their way through contribute here. It's a one-way street though. You can't contribute to mastodon from you threadiverse account (mbin/kbin community so small that it's not worth the mention).

    I can contribute posts to Mastodon by adding hashtags to my posts, and I can already follow users from there to see their posts (ahhh toots?) even if they aren't bound to any community. So, at least on Piefed, the situation is improving bit by bit.
