Been using lemmy and really enjoying it. I have a twitter account that does me no good so Mastodon seemed very appealing. I joined an instance, made some posts, tried interacting with a lot of people. . . I dunno. It just never really grabbed me.

I’ve noticed that content seems to federate on lemmy better than on Mastodon even though lemmy is younger, and I’m under the impression this is true for kbin as well though I don’t personally use it. I’d love to hear how you guys feel about it - as an artist the idea of having a blog to share my creations as well as life updates is cool but man it’s just so dead

    I tried Mastodon at one point, but couldn’t enjoy it. They reject using recommendation algorithms in favor of chronological order. And I get their reasons, but that meant my feed was mostly full of things I didn’t care about, so I left. Things may be better now that they’ve added an ability to follow hashtags, I don’t know.

      I’d love to have both. Old Instagram was perfect - chronological following feed, recommend explore. I’m probably asking for too much though hahah
