To add to this, on Lemmy I often find myself both agreeing and disagreeing with a user depending on the topic and community. It adds a layer of additional context and nuance to that user. If I was just to follow the user vs. community, however, I may get the impression that the user is not worth following if I happen to run across them on a topic that we have disagreements on.
I've had times where i'll have a negative interaction with someone on lemmy and see them later in another thread and they're cool again. On Mastodon if you have a single bad experience you've probably already blocked each other and that chance to reconcile never comes up again.
