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.

But in the other hand lemmy seems much more mature than lemmy.

Don't get me wrong, the experience has been rapidly growing in recent weeks thanks to the proliferation of third party apps ๐Ÿ‘ But Mastodon's first party experience feels solid and their new official app just blends in any mainstream app.

I assume you mean Mastodon seems much more mature than Lemmy?

Yeah, I'd agree with you there. I've had zero issues trying to find people and content on Mastodon, while I have had federation issues with Lemmy. And I do use the official Mastodon app.

My only gripe with Mastodon is that it isn't obvious that you should follow hashtags. I didn't know this at first and struggled to get into it with post after post complaining about Elon, but once I figured out to follow hashtags, I like it now. I'm just annoyed that all the artists I follow on Twitter are flocking to Threads and Bluesky instead of Mastodon though.
