I know that communities don’t translate well to Mastodon, I just find it a little odd how it seems to be a firehose of all comments in a community when viewed in Mastodon. I was expecting it to “repost” posts submitted to the community and have comments in the replies to those posts. Just something odd I was thinking about.
I was really hopeful about FireFish and then it kinda went to hell. That said, Lemmy has done well to stand firm. Hopefully we continue to see growth in that aspect. Looking at what Discourse and NodeBB are doing, perhaps the Threadiverse will have to the numbers to force Mastodon to act like a team player.
One thing I’ll say though. If the apps for the other microblogging services didn’t suck, I think more people would use them.
Yea I was part of the firefish hype from pretty early … it was a sad moment for the fediverse.
Discourse and NodeBB developments are definitely awesome to see!
The other microblogging services have apps? Like akkoma … has a mobile app? Is that what you mean?
They don’t have apps and the sparse few apps available aren’t as good as Moshidon.
