    Not sure if you were joking but Mastodon has substantially more users than Lemmy.

    Averaging 1 million users/month versus Lemmy’s 50k.

      And yet, I feel like I struggle to find relevant content more on Mastodon than on Lemmy. Maybe I just still don’t know how to Mastodon.

        It’s not just you, there’s been a lot of threads on let me talking about it but the problem with Mastodon is the fact that there is no content recommendation algorithm. You basically just get shown stuff from your local instance and maybe stuff it’s Federated with. Which is pretty much guaranteed to be a bunch of useless garbage nobody is interested in and random cat pictures.

        Bluesky is not perfect, but it’s better than X and i can actually find content i want. I’ve tried so many times to Mastodon and it’s just not worth it. Finding content is a huge effort and i don’t want to put that effort in.

        Blue Sky learned very quickly that I’m interested in artists content and now when I open it I find at least one new artist to follow each day so I can just open it scroll through the people I’m following look at the Discover tab to find a new one whose art I like and feel better that’s just not going to happen on Mastodon

  No offense but I think your effort is wasted on the people (already) here.

    You’re right. The effort of writing 2 sentences was definitely wasted. I’ll remember that next time.

      should’ve put an /s there maybe, don’t want to curb your enthusiasm of writing 2 sentences to promote a platform some people may not have checked out in some time, if at all. Do your thing lol

  It costs money to run and admin servers though

    Same on lemmy… Yet, here we are? Winning.

    I’d rather have a bunch of smaller dudes hosting servers than yet another US multinational that will use their money to destroy democracies around the world.

      Serious question: what is a US multinational?

      • Ledericas@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        probably meant US conglemerate

  If Fedi server owners will start getting legal requests from the Turkish government, they will start banning people too. Or will be forced to close their operations in Turkey.

    It will take way longer for them to shut down all individual servers than it takes them to ask 1 company to shut down individual posts.

    Not to mention the dissent that arrises from one server being asked to shut down, how many others would suddenly start hosting anti-turkey regime stuff.

    Its like piracy: you can’t really shut it down.

    As a mastodon server operator you have my word that I will wipe my ass with any takedown requests from the Turkish government, and encourage any Turkish users to get a fucking VPN.
