  • I really struggle to find good accounts to follow on bluesky

    I just follow a couple, so far I haven’t found accounts worth the follow, but just browsing the feed usually gives me enough content for a moment (I don’t browse it for hours).

    most of the french accounts/content are inactive for months

    There’s a Mastodon instance for my country (México)… but nobody fucking posts anything, a friend of mine tried it but all her posts were kind of normie content so she was ignored… hard, so she just deleted her account.
    Also trying to check the content on others servers is cumbersome and a pain.

    I even have a better content/experience on mastodon since they federated w/ threads and flipboard

    No comment, I blocked threads and I don’t really use flipboard.

    But beyond mastodon, it’s really sad that they leave the fediverse for now, hope they’ll comeback one day or another (on mastodon or any other plateform)

    I don’t think the Fediverse is ready for the normal public yet, it requieres too much effort (yes, dedicating time to read every little detail to pick a server is annoying) only to find out there is no content for them, the UI is very not user friendly (generally speaking), that maybe they landed on an instance that doesn’t allow what they want or it’s just a propaganda server.
    As I said about SimpleX… it needs to pretty-up if the plan is to welcome normal people, otherwise it’s just us.




  • It kind of is, but mostly scripts to post to multiple communities and instances at the same time, at the beginning people said we needed content at any cost, now? I guess we still do?
    But it’s rare to see someone post once and letting it federate, they rather post it everywhere (even if sometimes it barely fits a community) and get their sweet upvotes. Crossposting was supposed to help but sometimes I still see the crosspost and the original post for whatever reason.

    This is specially notable for news communities, meme/shitposting (constantly reposting the same things, sometimes even with the reddit watermark) and the nsfw instance (which is basically full of sellers and their cringe commenting bots).
