Mfs can't take 5 minutes god damn.

I haven't tried mastadon but I can't imagine it's harder than lemmy. Plus they already would have more established apps.

The problem I have with Mastodon is you need people to get people. And if the people I personally know and follow just aren't there, I don't… have fun there. Lemmy is much easier because it doesn't depend on personal people, but just communities. So even if there are few people, that's still easy to get more people there because it doesn't rely on many specific ones.

Totally. Microblogging (twitter alternatives) have a much harder task because they depend on the right users. Especially famous/influential people. Post aggregators (Reddit alternatives) don’t have that constraint.

Just follow hashtags, it's by far the easiest way to find people. You can also just use the explore tab.

Agreed. It took me a few tries to get into Mastodon. What helped me was discovering that I could follow hashtags of topics that interest me. That opened the door to interesting people to follow.

or just be a weirdo and reply to Lemmy comments from your Mastodon account like me. Then you don't need people on Mastodon since they're already on Lemmy.

Mastodon is just as easy as twitter, lemmy is harder than mastodon and it’s not hard

[–] CrazyEddie041@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't say it's as easy at Twitter. Twitter has an algorithm so you can be lazy. Mastadon requires that you actually go find the stuff that you want to see. The upside is that Mastadon doesn't waste your time with a bunch of garbage that "tHe AlGoRiThM" forces in front of you: it just gives you exactly what you asked for, instead. But you can't brainlessly scroll for hours with zero input the way you can with Twitter.

The "hard" part was deciding on an instance.

It's like those games that make you make super important, irreversible decisions on role/skills etc before you even play haha
