Comment on The EU says X is the worst platform for disinformation | Just as it removes a way to report election misinformation

Not sure if this is the right place but I need to get off Twitter/X, I would love to use Mastodon but the hurdle feels bigger than Reddit to Lemmy. The Mastodon client feels uncomfortable to me for some reason, and I guess unlike reddit/lemmy where you have a group of people talking about specific topics, I am interested in following specific people on Twitter - a fraction of whom are on Mastodon. I don’t want to support Musk or his platform but I’m struggling to find a replacement.

I guess if he starts charging for it the decision will be made for me 😅

You could also use Ivory, it’s basically tweetbot but for mastodon.

Tusky is pretty damn good for Mastodon. Better than any Lemmy client I’ve tried.

People say that picking a server for Mastodon isn’t that important, but really I think it is. Because just a with Lemmy where you can view your Communities, Local and All it’s the same on Mastodon - your server is the Local feed made up of all the people on that server. So you can just read the whole feed of everyone that way, and is it’s a server based around a topic you like then it’s a great place. But if you pick a server based around Crypto or Dance or Sport then you’re going to have a dull time.

Yes you can find individual people, but it’s a lot more fiddly to find people that aren’t on your server. You kind of have to know who and where they are already.

That’s why the fediverse works better for Lemmy than Mastodon IMO - because it’s about whole topics than people.

  People told me that I could pick any server and it wouldn’t matter, but I noticed that not all the content in the communities I follow from other servers appear to me. It’s confusing.

Tusky is my by far favorite social media app of all time, if you got a Android phone you should definitely try that! There are some truly cool people still stuck with Twitter but once you get into Mastodon you start to realize how much better the over all environment is, turns out social media doesn’t actually have to make you mad or sad! :)
