@Gargron on Bluesky and on Twitter, no, thanks to their fancy algorithms, you just go to Discover and find all the cool thighs, the closest we got to this here is with Explore. Of many people I listened to, many don't want to bother with looking for follows, and even if they do, the federation aspect was really getting in the way, like dealing with URLs is hard, some servers don't federate w/ each other, profiles being empty because no backfilling, etc.

@brawaru Explore may feel slower because the score decay is set to pretty long, so older items stay on top longer. Anyway, Mastodon is the choice for serious journalists, scientists, and governments. We've had our vape ape phase in 2018. If I gave up every time somebody called Mastodon dead in the water we never would've gotten here 🙂

@Gargron please don't give up!! Sorry if it sounded like I'm saying that Masto is ‘dead’, it's not at all, I think it very much secured its niche and I love it here 
I just tried to express is my sadness that we can't fulfill the needs of many regular casual people. Like my friends or their friends are probably going to be on Bluesky if Twitter explodes, rather than Mastodon, because it's more convenient to them for reasons above, that's what I find sad, because Bsky got bad vibes
