Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table

  I have no complaints about Lemmy, but posting on Mastodon is basically screaming into the void - I’ve been trying for more than a year, and I basically hardly ever get any reaction at all. In comparison, in the first week on Bluesky I found multiple people following me, commenting on my silly wine and cactuses posts, and in general just interacting.

  Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer Mastodon technically and ethically, but it’s just so goddamned barren and dead I feel completely unmotivated to post there…

    On Mastodon in settings you need to enable your account discoverability. Otherwise people won’t see you only if they know about you. This is weird default and my main complain about Mastodon :(

    Perhaps try to interact with other people on mastodon instead of expecting to grow a follower base? It ain’t tiktok, ya know?
