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…)

    How do you use Mastodon?

    I have tried to engage with it more multiple times, but I tend to not get anywhere. Is it like instagram, where you gotta subscribe to some hashtags?

      Yeah, you subscribe to hashtags to start, find people you agree with/find interesting, follow them, and then as they boost stuff you’ll find more and more people to follow.

      Almost the same way I used to use Twitter innthe early days:

      1. Find a client that I’m comfortable with (IceCubes for me)
      2. follow people that post interesting stuff
      3. engage in conversations

      Works really well for me and even though I only have half the amount of followers I had on Twitter, I have more high quality conversations and less trolls.
