Mastodon needs a way of automatically populating your feed for new users, like the “All” button does here on Lemmy if your instance has done the work.

I consider myself somewhat technology literate and I got frustrated/bored after trying on my phone to find popular accounts elsewhere to follow on the smaller instance I signed up on. Still stuck with an empty feed, but mostly out of laziness*. New users don’t stand a chance.

Speaking of dullness why isn’t there a like, comment or retweet counter? Just started trying to check out Mastodon.

They have 2 million active users supposedly, 10 times bigger than Lemmy.

Doesn’t this just mean they’ll make their bot accounts under a more organic/random timeline instead of linearly? The only way it seems you identified it is by the linear nature of the signups.

It’ll change if it gets popular, not everything can have an ultra unique name

Pfft, I’m horny on main 24/7 baby

That’s a good thing, don’t fear it

Should we make a /c/science community and discuss the latest developments?? 😂

I like this comment but in the end this is something most people won’t want, me included, because a decentralized identity would just mean an even better way to track and get yourself doxed for people who want to remain unknown to rulers of city states

From my perspective there was nowhere to go besides disparate discord communities, until I learned Lemmy existed and it got an IV injection of life from spez screwing with reddit

Sorta seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don’t type of situation.

Agreed, you cannot trust something that has the same ultimate goal as cancer. Endless infinite growth.

That’s what a corporation is, it can’t help it anymore than fire can choose how hot to burn

This is an excellent line.

Damn, that’s a terrifying vision of the future. I was on the fence with defederating, but we probably should.

Your comment should be top.
