Comment on [Question] ActivityPub Blogging Platform
Izzy@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s a toss up. There are a lot of people on Mastodon and I wouldn’t want to somehow get drama on my personal blog that is not really meant to be seen by the wider world. It’s harmless content to be sure, but the internet is a weird place. It’s potentially want to keep it isolated and just use Mastodon when I want to.

OK that makes sense. I have been using Mastodon for about a few weeks and one thing I have noticed is that most of the posts seem to have almost no comments or any other interaction. I have not yet been able to work out why. Mastodon has way more users than lemmy and also way more content. Then why so less interaction. Is it too many users? Too few users? Completely different platform? I have never used Twitter so can’t even compare with that.

Everyone seems to be micro blogging there own stuff. There are probably people reading various things, but nobody cares enough to respond. I think Twitter fed on drama which got people upset enough to respond. I think Mastodon is still sorting itself out. People will catch on eventually to how it all works.

Yes, it’s like people are interested in getting their word out rather than reading other people’s stuff. Still I like that I have a chronological feed which I tweak slightly by muting users whose content I don’t care for and the best thing is that I can browse by hashtags. Without this I wouldn’t have got interested in Mastodon in the first place.
