It was shown to be a farce the minute Musk bought twitter and people were following 20 step guides to get their 3rd party apps to work then turning around saying mastodon is too hard.

I have a lot more sympathy for people saying masto doesn’t have enough features.

I came from Reddit, strong disagree. I think the lemmy UI is far cleaner than reddit. Bluesky is way better than twitter and is technically decentralized.

Mastodon, for sure is a bit shitty with little thought put into discovery.

And Nextdoor

Mastodon can view, I think, all fediverse posts if you are inclined to make that happen.

“when there were 0 users, the site was perfect”

its the federation effect in action. I expect pixel fed to get a slow trickle of new users as legacy social media cages and milks its current users for ads.

Despite the misleading graph from OP, the slow uptick seems to be common with federated social media because there’s little incentive to make viral posts to sell ads.

looks like … the climate has changed

I believe we need some Lemmynade to celebrate

The US is one of the largest english speaking communities worldwide so its maybe not too wild to expect this from english subcommunities. There is a significant amount of japanese mastodon servers and german lemmy servers

If you’re moving around between servers it means that each server has to validate the users. The matrix solution was to add identity servers that tell the server you’re logging into who you are. I imagine something similar would be necessary to hop servers on nostr and bluesky. Its possible the connected servers share user identities but that has its own array of problems.

Are you saying its like the identity server model like matrix uses? Isnt that kind of model horribly complicated?

As a devoted AntennaPod user, it works damn well.

Make it run more efficiently. When users spike everything crashes for a like week

personal user sort method for post replies

eg: users I upvote more get higher placement in threads when I sort them this way. This would replicate ‘algorithms’ used on other sites.

Been posting on masto since lemmy.world keeps getting outages. New posts seem infrequent on the sorting algorithms. I’m sure once the hardware hiccups die down it will stabilize
