I have fully transitioned to using Lemmy and Mastodon right when third party apps weren’t allowed on Spez’s place anymore, so I don’t know how it is over there anymore.
What do you use? Are you still switching between the two, essentially dualbooting?
What other social media do you use? How do you feel about Fediverse social media platforms in general?
(I’m sorry if I’m the 100th person to ask this on here…)
Lemmy and BlueSky (primarily Lemmy).
BlueSky’s mobile app is such a clone of twitter, transitioning is nearly seamless for the average user. I tried mastodon at first, but it felt pretty rocky and different (and I’m rather techy).
Between BlueSky and Voyager for Lemmy (I was an Apollo user on Reddit), my user experience hasn’t changed at all – except for the pleasant lack of bots and Nazis on both platforms.
Friendica is also nice and looks like 2008ish Twitter but not so full, sadly. For reference if anyone interested:
FYI the official Mastodon mobile app is pretty limited; you can’t even view the global timeline (the web clients are fine). Most Mastodon users prefer using unofficial apps such as Tusky, Fedilab, or Megalodon.
