Vespair,

Isn’t Mastodon the Twitter alternative? I never understood the appeal of Twitter so I don’t get the need for an alternative. Anytime I hear mastodon mentioned I’m confused by what the heck people could possibly be using it for

Twitter-likes are for following creators, IMO.

itsnicodegallo,

Exactly. One uses an algorithm to suggest stuff you like based on other things you like. Say, webcomics. If you like a creator and what they post, you can follow them. Twitter will then suggest users who post similar content so you can follow them too. On Reddit/Lemmy, you’d need to find an appropriate subreddit/community. You can follow people once you stumble across them, but it’s not quite as easy to find them. Reddit will also not suggest posts and content based on your interest but instead will show you what’s highest voted by others or currently trending in general.

And now we await the hashtag posts all over the place. ’t

itsnicodegallo,

I really tried with hashtags for a while, and I don’t think they work.

I don’t know about you guys but I found that commenting or posting on Lemmy is a bit of a harder job from Mastodon. That’s why I created a Lemmy account. Maybe I missed something but that’s what I found.

Godric,

Anyone recommend a good Mastodon app for android?

I’ve used the official Mastodon app, and Tusky. Both work well, but I haven’t really done a deep dive into features.

Microw,

Not really though… you can make a lemmy post and tag a mastodon account, but that’s about it right?
