I feel like Threads is full of celebrities and Influencers These people sell their life for living.
Twitter… one step away for everything app.
Mastodon is awesome. I honestly enjoy that it’s not packing with people like Twitter or Threads. The content quality is like night and day.
Most Threads content is equivalent to instagram posts and comments and if you ever read instagram comments you know it’s one of the worst things on the internet.
Agreed, I think the battle between Threads and Twitter eventually benifts Mastodon and Lemmy. And it is good. Cuz for those who are still on Twitter or Threads are no different with this meme
I like mastadon too. It also has a lot of Twitter accounts that copy over so for some of the sports teams I follow I just follow a copy on mastadon.
I left Twitter and am now on this new app, X.
What a trailblazer
Ahead of the curve :D
Mastodon. My Twitter account is empty and just used to contact companies for warranty stuff /order shipping issues etc.
I’m not interested in the slightest in celebrities/influencers/“creators”.
Same.
I’m on Mastodon. I saw the writing on the wall the moment Elon bought Twitter, and the instant the deal went through, I created a Mastodon account and set up a Discord server so I could invite friends from Twitter there, to help keep everyone in contact. I really lucked out because a lot of folks from the Twitter community I’m in jumped up Mastodon, and a lot to the same small server run by folks we know from Twitter. Folks who didn’t move over initially did make accounts, and have started posting more to Mastodon as Twitter gets worse.
Mastodon takes a lot of work to get really set up (not just the choosing a server thing, but actually having a lively enough feed that it doesn’t feel empty - you’ve legit got to be following several hundred people and following hashtags in order to get a really active feed, but once you hit that point, it’s great.
Twitter —> Mastodon Reddit —> Lemmy (and Kbin) Discord —> Matrix
Here to throw Kbin into the ring. Does a great job of rounding up both lemming squeaks and random mastodon toots.
Which app for iOS to use for kbin?
I use Voyager (wefwef) for Lemmy and the official Mastadon app for their platform.
I’d worship and all-in-one FOSS solution!
Are we officially calling them lemming squeaks?
No lol, I’ll stick with “posts” forever
So, my squeaking here is all a toot point?
Mastodon, toot toot
I rejoined Mastodon last week, after people on here taught me how to use it properly. 😂
I’ve almost exclusively used it since and found some decent people through it. The only reason I’ve logged in to Twitter is because of two friends who haven’t moved yet. I’ll keep working on them to get them to switch. 😂
How were you using it wrong?
I only used the official app and couldn’t figure out how to curate my timeline. It’s only afterwards that people told me I had to follow hashtags, which it’s not possible to do on the official app (for some bizarre reason).
Now I’m using Tusky on Android and have got a timeline that works and is relevant to me.
I was about to say that’s crazy, you can absolutely follow hashtags from the official app… then I realized I’ve been using the PWA which I actually prefer over both apps.
(Not to say that Tusky is bad, try all the versions and pick the one that works for you.)
Firefish/Calckey. All the benefits of federating with Mastodon in a much nicer UI and UX.

Is there a good platform for finding readers? I’ve been trying to get people to read my books for years without success.
Mastodon. I got to a point where it’s actually getting difficult to catch up with what people I follow have posted while I’ve been asleep.
Mastodon, Bluesky (still has a long way to go, but it’ll get big) and Lemmy of course.
I’m on Bluesky too, but it just doesn’t make me want to stay there the way Lemmy does. Like I only check on bluesky once a week.
I’ve been trying to get on Bluesky for ages. Unfortunately they’re really stingy with invite links. I know it’s gonna sound really bad, but… you don’t happen to have one you could give away?
Not in the near future, sorry.
Mastodon, I’ve completely forgotten Twitter
I’ve been testing out Bluesky. Too early to give it a final rating, but it’s been cool (if relatively empty) so far.
Waiting for BlueSky to open, frankly. The people who I want to follow are largely heading there, and those who went for other platforms scattered so widely and inconsistently, following them is not so simply as joining Mastodon.
