As a twitter refugee, mastodon is really confusing, and lonely. In which I have nothing on there to connect with other users. The thing that makes twitter have high user connectivity is a "trending" tab and quote tweets. Which does wonders for user connectivity.
In contrast, mastodon has none of those features that made twitter appealing to the masses.
I understand keeping everything decentralized, but, some level of centralization is good for the userbase.
An example of this light centralization is lemmy, with its federation and "all" tab.

Fr, r/collapse and r/Genz need to hurry tf up

Have always been

Normally, I would be against this, however, does the average instance owner have the money to maintain a server? No.
Try hive social as an Instagram alternative! It's great (as a user of hive)
And give more power to Facebook? No. Sorry, I still call meta "Facebook." I kind of an old head despite being young.
Yeah, Countersocial> Mastodon
As the other community said, right now, we're just here because of spez being an asshole. Let this situation end and it'll normalize

Yup
Fr, it is very hard to break. I instinctively add "reddit" to the end of every search.
