As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.

It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.

      I found it very refreshing that it doesn’t have an algorithm at all. I know there are some downsides to that, but I think they’re worth it.

          On Mastodon? I distinctly recall reading that it did not have one but I guess these projects are fast moving so maybe it has changed or I am just mistaken.

              This does make more sense.

              I think “for you” is just everything you follow (people and topics).

                  Oh, that must be new. I only had three tabs, one for my stuff, one for all the local stuff, and one for everything.

                  There were recommended posts and stuff but they were kind of buried in some menus.

                  Sounds like stuff has changed. It’s only been a few months. I’ll stop saying there’s no algorithm now, haha.
