The problem I have with Mastodon is you need people to get people. And if the people I personally know and follow just aren’t there, I don’t… have fun there. Lemmy is much easier because it doesn’t depend on personal people, but just communities. So even if there are few people, that’s still easy to get more people there because it doesn’t rely on many specific ones.
Totally. Microblogging (twitter alternatives) have a much harder task because they depend on the right users. Especially famous/influential people. Post aggregators (Reddit alternatives) don’t have that constraint.
My issue is there’s just not enough content yet. I mostly only used Twitter to engage with wrestling fans (for better or worse), but on Mastodon there seems to be less than 10 wrestling fans total.
I bet the ten of you could make a community worth joining. That’s a time commitment though. Could just 9ost stuff from reddit for now to build the community.
Without any actual wrestlers or wrestling journalists on mastodon (which I am neither), there’s not much that could be done to build a community. Plus, I don’t have the time or energy to moderate a community. Plus, posting stuff “from Reddit” kinda violates the whole point of, you know, not using Reddit.
If we can do that here, surely it can’t be that hard to just pick a server on there and follow people, right?
I don’t expect everyone to be a coding wizard, I’m certainly not, but how are so many people still so tech illiterate in this modern day that what essentially boils down to picking an email host is considered difficult??
And all the comments are about how hard fedi and mastadon are :(
Skill issue.
Mfs can’t take 5 minutes god damn.
I haven’t tried mastadon but I can’t imagine it’s harder than lemmy. Plus they already would have more established apps.

I swear, many people are completely digitally illiterate despite being on the internet every day. Even choosing a server is already too hard for them.

That’s all I see people complain about.
