I know the fact that it doesn't have one is kind of a feature, but I do wish Mastodon had some sort of algorithm feed. I liked that after I liked a couple of football/soccer tweets, Twitter started surfacing popular football tweets, even if they didn't have any hashtags.

First time poster. I'm on lemmy.world but found not many of my channels like I have on Reddit. How you all find your niche subs that are bigger than 30 people?
For me, I have a nice Twitter feed. Really nice, lots of good people and it makes me happy. Nearly none of them are on Mastodon so I'm having a hard time doing this anew. I expect a lot of those folks will have a hard time moving to Mastodon, but some have left for Instagram. Not the same. I have found a lot of the same forums from Reddit here, and some are empty so I hope to help populate.
I'm guessing Mastodon is a Twitter like thing? I could Google but I'm here to chat about things. It's kinda nice being on what feels like an old internet or fledgling community space
Yes, Mastodon is microblogging like Twitter. Usually has longer character counts, my instance has 5000 which helps because I tend to get long-winded.
Have not touched my Reddit account since June 30th 0:00
I've never used twitter 😎😎
Check out Mastodon for the Twitter alternative - it's great. I'm really glad I made the jump.
Twitter has become a toxic cesspit even before musks takeover. He just made things far worse to the point where it's basically just attempted doxing and permanent ad-hominem barrages. It's not worth any time.
I still use Twitter occasionally, not as much as before, even because I lost interest in many topics I followed before.
I almost cut out Reddit too, since 3th party apps still work at the moment, but when that moment comes I will drop it without any doubts.
Ah, almost forgot, welcome to Lemmy. :)
I would like to do the same. That Reddit app I hate detest, however I'm not exactly seeing anything amazing so far with this ui, but I just started so I don't know much about this yet
Welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Those corpo media sites are now a fading memory for me.
Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect... ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.
welcome! enjoy your time on the fediverse! personally i found fedi back in '19 but the latest stuff with reddit re-sparked my interest and got me into using lemmy
Me too
I deleted my Reddit account on July 1st as well. Their distain for the people that provide them free labor was disgusting.
Deleted my Twitter account a month ago and Reddit just committed suicide. I'm good with it.
Is there any app for Lemmy (Android) that scrolls without stutters every now and then? I tried Thunder and Jarboa and although the scrolling is smooth most of the times, but they stutter occasionally and the experience is not very intuitive. When I was on Reddit, I was using Infinity for Reddit which was smooth af. I am looking for an a Lemmy app that looks and feels like Infinity for Reddit.
Not an app but try wefwef.app as PWA. The UI is same as that of Apollo.
I left Twitter like half a year before the whole Elon Musk stuff, and I stopped using Reddit on the day the blackout protests started. I haven't deleted the accounts though.
I deactivated my 15 year old Twitter account this weekend.
Then I deleted all my Reddit posts.
Then I created a new email account and I'm migrating off of Google.
I guess I should go check out Nebula or something next, and try out PeerTube.
