Is it just the momentum and word of mouth, or are there improved features as well?

Tho I agree with all the comments I have to say the general vibe of bluesky is more playful and fun compared to mastadon, perhaps its just my bias. But just like lemmy generally feels like a nice place to be so does bluesky- the vibe feels inviting.

I've got an account on Bluesky and I'm not sure if I agree. Like 90% of the posts I've seen on there are about Bluesky itself, there wasn't really anything beyond that.

Well small new platforms do have a lotta posts about themselves, lemmy isnt new but is still full of posts about lemmy

[–] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if you can get past all the posts about Reddit. Lemmy users mostly spend time bitching about Reddit, Apple, and Microsoft. It’s exhausting.

I generally agree, but I felt like Bluesky was on a whole different level.

I think the issue is that there's a slow trickle of people who have just gotten in and go "Wow I just got in, has anyone got any tips?"

Find one or more feeds you like and pin them. I use the newly created For You feed (which algorithmically puts stuff there it thinks you will like) and a couple of topical feeds that are specific to my interests. I think it's great. Way more content that I care about than there ever was on twitter, and way way more engagement between folks.

I'm a big proponent of Mastodon/Firefish in general, but while they win in volume, Bluesky is already pulling ahead for me in signal to noise ratio. (I think that's very subjective to what things interest you, so YMMV.)

And 90% of posts on lemmy seem to be about reddit....

I do. DM me.

Note: I only have 1 available right now.

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I DMed let me know if kbin/Lemmy messaging is broken.

[–] Granite@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It must be because I got this comment, but not a DM. I’ll try to DM you.

Edit: I tried to send a message but 403 error. :/

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that’s ridiculous. Had no idea that wasn’t possible til just now.

[–] Granite@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
