Bluesky has blown up this year thanks to a vibrant community of posters, user customization choices, and a decentralized protocol that doesn't lock users
I have no complaints about Lemmy, but posting on Mastodon is basically screaming into the void - I’ve been trying for more than a year, and I basically hardly ever get any reaction at all. In comparison, in the first week on Bluesky I found multiple people following me, commenting on my silly wine and cactuses posts, and in general just interacting.
Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer Mastodon technically and ethically, but it’s just so goddamned barren and dead I feel completely unmotivated to post there…
It’s hard for communities to switch from twitter to bluesky eve with starter packs, custom feeds, etc. Not all people are into programming and that’s basically the only community in mostodon.

Perhaps try to interact with other people on mastodon instead of expecting to grow a follower base? It ain’t tiktok, ya know?
