Have to admit that I've been lurking on Reddit much more (via Stealth, it scrapes from the old reddit api) and unfrotunately the lack of activity on here kinda made even lurking back on there a superior experience

Same for me but using Geddit. Also finally exploring Mastodon for a replacement for match threads.
Both are part of the fediverse so not mutually exclusive.
You can start a match thread on Mastodon and mention the handle of this community in the post (@[email protected]) and it'll not only start a thread on Mastodon, but also here. Comments added on Masto will appear in the thread here and vice versa. Likes on Masto will appear as upvotes here and upvotes here appear as likes on Masto. It's quite cool. You can tell when a post originated from Mastodon because it has that little rainbow fediverse icon on it.
If you follow a Lemmy community on Masto, the posts will appear as boosts in your timeline.
Here's a thread I started on Masto but is also on the [email protected] community:
