Comment on Mastodon handles lemmy communities a bit strangely, doesn't it?
sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 months agoI was really hopeful about FireFish and then it kinda went to hell. That said, Lemmy has done well to stand firm. Hopefully we continue to see growth in that aspect. Looking at what Discourse and NodeBB are doing, perhaps the Threadiverse will have to the numbers to force Mastodon to act like a team player.
One thing I’ll say though. If the apps for the other microblogging services didn’t suck, I think more people would use them.

Yea I was part of the firefish hype from pretty early … it was a sad moment for the fediverse.
Discourse and NodeBB developments are definitely awesome to see!
The other microblogging services have apps? Like akkoma … has a mobile app? Is that what you mean?

They don’t have apps and the sparse few apps available aren’t as good as Moshidon.

yea, heard good things.
The thing about firefish is that at the time there was still an energy among newcomers to mastodon to look for and even build new things. It’s death and the way it happened genuinely burned some people I think and definitely let an opportunity slip.

That’s understandable. A lot went into creating that FireFish wave.
