Good thought, wrong sub.

The entire userbase of the Fediverse is a rounding error for Meta. We aren't significant.

Lemmy just needs to stop talking about itself so much. The only reason I still use Reddit is because I find fresher and more varied content there. Lemmy users need to provide more content than just the fact that they are on Lemmy.

The problem with Mastodon is discoverability. The fact that if I follow 10 hashtags, it won't sort them on my homepage, but will be fully chronological.

Say I follow #photography. The top of my homepage would be the post posted 2s ago, no matter how bad it is. It is so hard to find quality content.

Now, Threads' algorithm is pretty bad, but it's still a lot easier to find quality content there instead of on Mastodon. Mastodon badly needs sorting by Hot, Active etc like there is on Lemmy.

Just downloaded. I have not been this happy for months.

I use them with Revanced. Sorry Lemmy, but you're not even close to Reddit's content quality. You're improving though.

Tell me you've not read the article without telling me you've not read the article.

Its not as good as it sounds. There should be some kind of sorting. I follow #food but I get low-quality content of any random user taking a picture of their refrigerator at the top of my feed just because they posted 1s ago.

I'm on both, and both vibes are pretty great. I prefer Mastodon simply because the app is superbly made, tiny file size, no trackers etc. Bluesky is a buggy mess right now. Also, 3rd party apps on Mastodon are amazing.

This is one of the most retarded takes I've seen.

We won't know until we open the box...

Is it Fortune500?

I have selected some high-quality content to follow, but I still need to SORT through it. I'm into photography, but I don't want to see people taking a mirror selfie and it being on the top of my feed just because it was the latest one posted with the hashtag.

Reddit (and Lemmy) solve this by giving me the choice. I can sort by Hot or Active, and get a balance between recent but upvoted posts, and if I need to, I can always sort by New.

The user needs to have options. Mastodon currently isn't it for me, and won't be until they add it. Until they do, I would take Threads with a following feed over Mastodon.

I also feel like Bluesky is the one doing this really well too. They have custom algorithms, that users can create and people can enable them in the settings, like community plugins. I really, really love that concept and would love seeing something like that on Mastodon.

What's the alternative?

Fedora is my recommendation of choice. The default Fedora + Gnome workflow out of the box is absolutely flawless.

I hope so. I find some excellent content here but I still need to sift through tons of Lemmy circlejerk to find it.

Finally, Mastodon will be using be usable for me.

I do. My usage has gone down in half, as blue I have Lemmy and the vibes here are nice and I like the concept but it still doesn't come close to Reddit in terms of content and niche subreddits.

A lifetime purchase option has been added. A little pricy though imho.

I don't think Relay will be coming, the dev is making Relay paid for Reddit and is complying with the API pricing.
